    Usyk wants to go more mainstream and already did a movie with blunt and the rock so they will help him ease more into the USA. he has wilder, ruiz, anderson, torrez and miller to beat up so he has plenty of time and opponents to break into the USA.

    they all are. torrez is more hittable because he is more aggressive. less aggressive fighters are less hittable because they dont take as many chances. but aggression creates its own chances to the benefit of the aggressor. i would enjoy seeing usyk deal with this particular problem over a significant amount of rds. if he allows it to get there.

    Praying for 4 Wilder fights. Hopefully five. That will be the "body" Deontay said he wanted to take. His own.

    Deontay deserves the beating coming his way. Accused his HOF trainer of spiking his drink, accused a true champ of glove tampering, accused people of summoning ancestral spirits (lmfao), slept w his brother's wife, assaulted a mentally handicap person (Zelenoff, lol), and boasted about wanting to take a body. True scumbag

    Anyone championing this move by Usyk is more an Usyk fan boy than a boxing fan. Try and gloss it up anyway you want or give him a pass because of his past achievements but the Undisputed HW champ ducking the best contenders and biggest fights that can be made is only bad for boxing. Or perhaps Usyk is being managed poorly now since he split with his long time manager recently if memory serves me correctly. Either way very weird move and not a good look for the champ. Wilder. Hahaha I doubt it happens when Usyk sees the potential finances involved

    Don't forget he beat up a hooker and assaulted a Mexican burrito mascot.

    For him to be talking about it publicly, I'd imagine he has seen the money on offer

    Lol! Primo there reduced six fights to "three opponents." And conveniently forgot his cruiser career. The FACT is that he has won 13 title fights, 11 of them against fellow belt-holders. Even Chisora is a two-time tile challenger who has been ranked on and off for 15 years.

    First tier ATG.

    I can't understand why Usyk would want to part ways with an organization run by his Royal-Regal-Majestic-Noble-Imperial-Celestial-Exalted-Monumental-Colossal-Stately-Magnificent-Splendid-Sophisticated-Graceful-Exquisite-Stylish-Tasteful-Refined-Debonair King Salman , Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Turki Alalshikh

    Honestly it would be a fun fight to watch. Itauma vs Torre is also a good one.

    Winner of the World Boxing Series

    UNDISPUTED CW CHAMPION in just 19 fights

    WBC CW champion

    Winner of the Muhammad Ali trophy

    UNDISPUTED HW CHAMPION in just 22 fights

    WBC HW champion
    WBA HW champion
    IBF HW champion
    WBO HW champion

    UNDISPUTED HW CHAMPION x 2

    2 x Fighter of the Year

    Won and unified all his world titles in his opponent's backyards sans one which was still on the road

    This content is protected


    Never had home advantage or a home country ref in any of his world title fights or fights at the world level sans possibly Poland for Dubois 1 and has only had a combined 2 home country judges in all of them

    Oldest undisputed HW champion ever

    2nd oldest unified HW champion ever and #1 was only 2 months older than Usyk is now when he last won a fight

    Will be the 4th oldest HW champion ever in 24 days

    And of the 3 ranked above him all were natural 240-250 + huge HWs with extremely high KO%

    One of the tiny few HW world champions to have never been knocked down

    How many of the greats can boast never having been knocked out amateur or pro?

    Usyk can and this is despite him running a gauntlet of savage punching KO artists and legit bangers amateur, semi-pro and pro, and many way bigger than him and fighting so many of them in their backyards and many of them being younger or much younger than him and him having been past his prime for years

    And then factor in not only couldn't any of them knock him down or out but he beat them all via clean boxing and the application of pure skill without running or holding and ZERO fouling or use of dirty, illegal and unmanly tactics

    The haters can seethe with rage and try to discredit him as much as they like but one thing they can never do is tell us the name of another fighter in the history of the sport, regardless of how great or legendary they were, who all of this applies to.

    Some of it might apply or even much of it to a few but all of it to none and some of the greats never dared do once what Usyk has done religiously.

    And he did it all on the road amateur and pro and very often as the B-side as a pro

    Usyk is a unicorn

    GOATED

    In just 24 fights? Wowzers!

    Doesn't matter how skilled you are. No 39 year old man is eager to get into a high volume war of ring attrition. Usyk isnt a young man anymore. Hes at the point now where you call him a "Sir". Gas tank doesnt fill up like it used to.
