Rico Verhoeven vs Oleksandr Usyk official for WBC Heavyweight Championship — May 23 in Egypt (DAZN)

It ain't over yet so seems a bit premature

 

I'm convinced you touch yourself at night looking at pictures of fury. Your obsession is weird.

Fury is pillow fisted for a heavy weight. He keeps talking about AJ being chinny, AJ took those bombs from Dubious and four times got up. fury doesn't have what it takes to knock AJ out.

There is no usyk trilogy. AJ v fury will happen, fury is getting stopped, and you'll cry about it and come up with every excuse under the sun.

 

Damn I forgot this was happening.

 

Sorry you had to remember.

Itauma is scheduled to fight a better opponent in Hrgovic

 

Also it's a lot easier to avoid losses when you fight less frequently.

Andre Ward had a similar career to Usyk in which he proved himself the best in multiple divisions and retired without a loss yet gets little respect.

 

It's because Ward clearly lost to Kovalev the first time, and people didn't like his dirty boxing. Ward also dodged Bivol and Beterbiev while Usyk has beaten the top 2 in his era of heavyweights, Fury and Dubois and has never gotten dropped.

Ward was atg level at 168 but his run was completely surpassed by a wide margin here

 

Beterbiev and Bivol were totally unproven when Ward retired. So it's no different than Usyk retiring without fighting Surov and Itauma which seems likely to happen.

And I think Ward beat 7 ranked opponents

Kovalev
Barrera
Dawson
Froch
Abraham
Bika
Kessler

So less than Usyk but the Kovalev win potentially being the best opponent beaten

 

Scheduled? Is it official?

Only on the condition that Hrgovic wins against Mr Allen

 

It literally says he's being considered.

 

Well, no. His victories will not be undone.

 

But Ward was only 33 when he retired, Usyk is 39
