Usyk fighting Andy Ruiz in Vegas according to Derek Chisora

I'll believe it when Ruiz jr. posts an instagram sucking in his gut, talking about what great shape he's in and then wears his shirt at the weigh-in where he's three hundred and twelve pounds.

 

There are people on this forum who are a more reliable source than Derek Chisora.

 

I thought choosing Wilder was a leap for Usyk. But it's a fight I've always wanted to see.

However, Ruiz seems like an EVEN BIGGER leap. Ruiz hasn't stopped anyone since he fought Joshua SEVEN years ago, and couldn't repeat it.

Oh well, wake me up when someone figures out what's going on.

Even shot wilder is too much risk for usyk or what ?

Now instead a meeegafight with obese ruiz who was 2024 last time in the ring pulling out a draw against jarell miller ?

Lets go champ !

 

I had a strange experience in the park once when I ran into these women taking turns doing hula hoop, grown women, giggling like school girls on the playground, taking turns with this giant metal ring that looked just impossible to hula with, because of its sheer heft. Then Del Boy came walking in asking if anyone saw his dongle ring and you're not going to believe how these two things relate but it's really quite amusing.

 

Fury Chisora 4 and Usyk Ruiz Jr confirmed.

 

Why do we need more attention on the wars created by the elite?

it’s a more credible and interesting fight than Wilder but I don’t think it’s one I’m most wanting to see.

 

Probably a better fight than the Wilder fight.

 

Another fight which wont happen.

HW boxing these days is 99.99% talk about fights that could happen and 0.01% about fights that are actually happening.

 

Money has ruined sport.
