    He gave up the WBO already. If he can't make the money he wants from Parker or Wardley, he isn't making it off Kabayel, so he should give up the WBC. As for the WBA, with Interim Wardley accepting the WBO, the mando is either going to be ancient Pulev, or Gassiev, should he win it in December, and NOBODY wants to see that rematch.

    Just pull a Lewis and reduce down to one...the IBF because he just cleared it. Then he can face whomever he wants, although, I admit, its hard to understand who that might be at this point.

    Everyone knows I love the man. I don't think there would be any shame in it at this point. And the division could start to regenerate...the fans will be guaranteed multiple big heavyweight fights a year...the fighter will get their chances...who loses?

    Usyk is mad because he can't make money with 4 belts, where as AJ is paid $50M for Paul fight with no belts, lol.

    Usyk should give his belts up to Fury and proclaim him the greatest, it's only right.

    Actually for the sake of undisputed it's good that he doesn't have all the belts.

    Imagine one day he does lose due to his age and some random Dubois or Wardley is undisputed over night, while Usyk went over years of fighting his way up as road warrior from cruiser to heavy.

    Undisputed has to be earned.

    Usyk is coming to the realisation that Fury is the last worthwhile opponent. He's been fighting it, trying to move on. But the truth is only Fury and Wilder matter on his record from this bunch and Wilder is shot to hell.

    I bet Usyk got a little teary when Parker showed his true colours and left this Wardley mess. He could at least lie to himself that Parker meant something and loved Jeebs too.

    But now Parker is gone and Uysk is sitting there in despair, thinking about txting Fury and doing those old taunts like the old days.

    Mate, just pick up the phone and say sorry for pretending you had better options. You never did, man. You never did.

    You honestly want to do a twelve rounder clinching with Kabayel and smell like kebabs for months afterwards? You won't get that smell out, man. The wife is not gonna be happy.

    Crawford-much? This is the case way to often, also with usyk's second undisputed at heavy btw.

    Undisputed is so overrated

    I agree that Undisputed should be earned. If you beat the undisputed champ, you should get the belt that you were mandatory for, plus the ring belt, and become the lineal champ. The other belts should be made vacant.

    it’s wild that someone could become undisputed without collecting them.
