Zuffa's plan all along was to get Usyk. By installing rubbish mandatories like the German Turk, the self-serving sanctioning bodies have served him up on a plate.
I get where the corrupt one is coming from however if Usyk personally told all the bodies of his plans individually then it would have been leaked and I think he wanted to break the news himself. Assuming this isn’t AI.
This is not on if true,Usyk agreed to fight Kabayel as part of the deal to be allowed to fight Rico,so making Kabayel wait after stating to the WBC he would fight Kabayel next and to then not fight him is just not on ! Had Fury,Joshua or anybody else for that matter done this it would be a 30 page thread slating them,but when it’s Usyk it’s “ Oh hes done the right thing “ ! Just imagine if Fury,Joshua or anybody else had vacated belt after belt avoiding mandatory fights or if Fury had retired after his terrible cross over fight with Ngannou ! I honestly did not expect Usyk to go out like this,I thought he would fight Kabayel the best of the chasing pack,beat him then retire,it’s an even worse look if he does drop all the belts but continues to fight on !
The right thing to do. He should've just retired after Dubois II but for some strange reason he chose to have that idiot Lapin advising him and he parted ways with those close to him who were talking sense and now Zuffa boxing have tempted him away. They offered domestic level Johnny Fisher six times for one fight what E-Hearn openly admitted he would pay Fisher for fighting that opponent so god knows what they're offering Usyk Personally, I would've liked to seen him fight Kabayel and then bow out but Kabayel pushing so hard for the fight to be in Germany pissed me off because Usyk was the champ, the A-side and he called the shots and Kabayel already holds big advantages in size and youth and no other fighters are expected to do in their prime what Usyk has forged a career doing, let alone when 39.5 y/o and when well past their prime, but it's just expected he should keep doing so putting himself at all these disadvantages when he was the champ, the king of the division, the greatest fighter and HW of this generation. So disrespectful and as said no other fighter is expected to do these things, let alone routinely and at almost 40 y/o, and even worse he receives zero credit for doing these things from so many despite the fact that literally not a single one of their current favs or his fellow top 10 P4P peers are doing what he forged a career doing, so I can't really blame him for chasing the money and looking out for his own best interests during this stage of his career after forging a career taking risks like few others and impeccable conduct. I'd much rather he'd just retired but I think it's just too hard for him to do right now even though deep down he must know it's for the best
You don't know this. Turki said some wishy-washy stuff directly after the Rico fight and then we didn't hear another peep from him. And you honestly can't tell me Usyk would have turned down $50-100 mill to fight Kabayel.
Ok you class Kabayel as a German Turk and a rubbish mandatory,so who should Usyk have been fighting in your opinion ? Thanks for your reply
Neither do I tbh but IMO Kabayel was the best of the chasing pack and I’m honestly surprised if Usyk has dropped the belt after agreeing to fight him,had Usyk fought and beat Kabayel what a way to finish his career,but not like this dropping all his belts !
