    Yet the big disgrace Tyson "Belly" Fury retired because he's afraid of people like Kabayel, Dubois, and Parker. And he's younger than Usyk.

    He can't seem to get Tysons name out of his mouth. A fight no one's asking for... except Tyson

    Saw an interview with Frank Warren who insists Fury has said he wants a third fight with Usyk because he thought he won the second fight.

    Personally I don't want, and won't watch, Fury-Usyk III. That's just for Fury's ego.

    Usyk has the right to fight anyone he so desires, but there are plenty of guys out there who are hungry and want a shot at the title.
    He needs to fight those guys.

    Just the opposite. Fury can't get Usyk's mouth...among other things...out of his mouth

    Usyk has most definitely earned the right to hang up the gloves as and when he wishes.

    But as a boxing fan, i want him to retire at the pinnacle, with no blemishes to his professional record.

    Lol.

    This interview came as a slap in the face to those who claim, "Usyk doesn't fight for money—he fights for honor and victory." And then there are the romantic and naive boxing fans who say, "Usyk has already achieved everything he could, now it's time for him to retire." Hopefully, they'll shut their mouths now. This is professional boxing. There’s no room for romanticism in this industry; there's only the goal of maximizing profit. Everything is about money.

    Good news for Usyk fans. We get to him a few more times :)

    Usyk will retire as a nice 27-0 or 28-0, whilst adding some more good names to his resume like Parker, Kabayel, Wardley.

    And haters will still hate.

    Bull**** trolling.

    When has Usyk ever ducked challengers or the best lol. Never

    He THRIVES off testing himself against the best possible opponents.

    And there is top talents coming through. Itauma looks excellent, Kabayel is very good, Wardley is extremely dangerous with his power, and Teremoana is a solid prospect, plus Opetaia is planning on moving up.

    I suspect it’s fury which would be a very inconsequential fight. At that point let go of the belts so others get in exiting fights. Or maybe it’s kabayel haha

    Ituama might be the next big thing.

    And Kabayel? If anyone is going to take down Usyk, it's Kabayel.

    If he beat the winner of Parker/Wardley, beat Kabayel, beat Ituama, then retired... jesus. Legend.

    But it's going to be Belly and Ituama because Turki wants those. Ituama shouldn't take it unless it's big money, because Usyk is likely to humiliate him. Ituama may one day be the final boss of boxing, but at the moment he's like a lvl 1 character with great stats, in no way ready for the current final boss.

    Itauma is very talented for sure as proven by beating Whyte in less than a round. But, jumping straight into a fight with the final boss of boxing in Usyk would be incredibly stupid especially if he hasn’t even gone past 6 rounds against even a journeyman, instead just with part timers.

    Itauma needs to prove he can go long, because Usyk will weather that early storm.

    I don't know if that makes sense. Even the best athletes with tons of money, who could be considered the GOATs, have a noticeable decline in performance around age 40. Just look at Djokovic or the tail end of Roger Federer's career. Not to mention the number of top-level players.
    Boxers are no exception, and it's important to remember that Usyk fights much bigger opponents, where mistakes can be very costly.

    But ultimately, it's his life and his decisions. The problem is that in this interview he also mentions that he doesn't intend to fight Itauma. How does he imagine fighting for two more years? What's the point of vacating titles and looking for easier fights once the youngster earns the right to fight?

    Total nonsense and an attitude that doesn't fit Oleksandr.
