No Itauma doesn’t deserve to jump the line when all he has fought is washed up old fighters. There’s people in line who deserves it more and by the time Usyk is done he should retire
Depends on how both of them look in coming fights. If both look good - Itauma against Hrgovic and someone else on a similar level, and Usyk against Kabayel and in a Rico rematch - why not?
The arrogance in the statement "i don't wanna break this guy", who exactly has Usyk broken? His humility is so fake, greedy Cossack
i was surprised at how bad he looked last time out, compared to he previous performances. I’m not sure he does still have that special factor in him anymore. Doesn’t take away from who he was, it’s just an age thing. Father Time waits for nobody.
AJ had a public meltdown after their second fight. Not just in front of the mic but what he was saying to Usyk in the ring after, some of which is on video you can find. Sure seemed like he had broken AJ mentally there. and I have a feeling that Dubois has nightmares of him. Just saying.
Yeah that's a fair point, although I think AJs meltdown was largely taken out of context due to him not being a good communicator. I think it was a really misguided way of trying to say "your skills are better than mine". I really think AJ expected to get a cheer when he lifted the Ukrainian flag
He was throwing a temper tantrum because he finally realized that he'll never have a legacy like Lennox Lewis.
As everyone could see Usyk is down the other side from age and post back surgery I still think he wants no part of Itauma I would favor Itauma his hand speed while not as flashy as Alis is very deceptive watch his last knockout and see his follow up ko punch is lightning fast
