Usyk ducked Itauma

These days, money is more important to Usyk, which is understandable. He will get absolutely nothing in terms of money and prestige by beating Itauma. It is that simple.

 

Parker has absolutely zero chance against Usyk. Wardley possibly 1%. Kabayel 3%.

 

Wilder is the most recognised USA HW at the moment. Fighting him will get many more eyes on Usyk.

I remember not so long back the story that Wilder would destroy Usyk. What happened to that view?

 

What happened is Wilder got demolished by Fury before being schooled by Parker and killed by Zhang. Now he's 40 and doesn't have his athleticism anymore. Wilder is outside the top 30 now, great fight for Usyk tho, he'll retire having cleared the whole era

 

Wilder was selling fights without fury. Not on AJ level but he was the biggest name at a point not called Joshua. Had some ppv’s without fury.

if you mean the level of selling like AJ, then no. But not many have and not many will.

post fury, wilder is done.

 

Nah man. Usyk be duckin'. He won't fight me. I called him out at The Target and then posted it on Facey Space. No cap.

 

21 today. Been a pro about 3 years now. Time to step it up. When you start off so young you never know how long or short your best days are. Ask Tyson an Benitez

 

Didn't Wilder have only one $1m purse pre Fury?

 

Yes. But we will be able to see Wilder's win-loss record in the history books. And people will question it coming off a LLWLLW (especially if anyone looks up who the Ws were against)

 

There seems to be an acceptance now that Usyk is driven by money just as much as guys like Joshua or Fury ever were. But strangely not the same critique and yet the division has stagnated

 

I dont know exact figures, I’m not his accountant. Also many times purses are marketing and it depends on the structure. They also mainly mention the top figure, not the bottom or even middle.

Finkel, your his manager you may be privy to the information lol.

 

"You want some?"

 

Yeah but "we" know what we're looking at
An average casual type fan won't really

 

That makes his ducking even worse.
