    He’s not actively avoiding everyone. But he does need to be more active.

    I understand the frustration, but you’ve kind of contradicted yourself.

    You’ve said yourself he’s not ready for the big names.

    And they have nothing to gain from fighting him.

    Also, the top guys are only fighting once or twice per year.

    So if he did get AJ in a few years, it wouldn’t be his fault would it.

    AJ has asked for a tune up.

    He’ll then have a 2 fight contract with Tyson.

    That will also take Tyson out of the picture.

    Usyk is only fighting once per year.

    Kabayel wants to fight Usyk.

    The fights have to be viable.

    So I think you’re wrong. 100%.

    He’s been brought along okay. Again, the only issue is his activity.

    He should be fighting 4-5 times per year.

    Apart from that, there’s no issue.

    There is zero evidence that he’s waiting everyone out.

    It’s going to be tough to get him some credible opponents.

    Nobody who believes that they’re even close to a Usyk fight, will want to touch him.

    The promoters have got a challenge in trying to match him with a suitable fighter as they move him up another level.

    You have to look at things from every perspective, not just from the perspective of Moses.

    Once Usyk & Fury retire boxing is a dead sport

    British casuals don't care for Ituama and he will have little competition...or step up and get chinned by lego eater Dubious or a Wardley type.

    Yeah no, Usyk picks him apart at 39.

    He can't win. He's either not fighting top opposition or doesn't deserve to fight them.

    Throw him in against the winner of Wardley v Dubios. I think he's ready to derail them

    Throw him in with Hrgovic. See how he handles a guy who won’t respect his power at all.

    a Jermaine Franklin coming off a robbery win and no outstanding wins btw. His best "wins" are going the distance with a shot Whyte and the shell of Joshua. He is the epitome of an ameribum.

    In all honesty if this is his plan and he actually sticks to it its going to work.

    If you look at the ages of all the top names in the division theres a top 5 spot with Itaumas name on it reserved for 2035 if he plays his cards right.

    The kid is doing what he's told to do like most athletes. His management thinks he needs slow and steady, and they know more about it than most of us. Have a joint and chill.
