    Usyk plans to fight for about another two years, if you believe him…

    Who would you guys like to see him face for the last couple of fights in his career?

    Mine would be…

    1. Fury rematch
    2. Parker
    3. Zhang
    4. Kabayel

    The more, the better. Usyk has done wonderful things, and is indisputably an all time great, but he can still be greater. Let him clean out most of the division against Zhang, Parker, Anderson, Kabayel, Sanchez etc. and let him have a strong title reign. It would do even more wondrous things for his legacy, especially at his age. As long as it's a top 10 contender, it would be good for him.

    Not bad! I would have no problem with that route. But in all honesty I would love to see him retire after beating Fury. MAYBE a Zhang fight IN CHINA just to end his career winning a huge fight on foreign soil :D No better way for The Road Warrior to end it.

    Just stop it, mate. You predicted how Fury would beat him easily. You predicted how Fury would knock him out. You predicted how they would both retire after their bout, guaranteed.

    And here we are, after Usyk basically knocked him out, beating him so badly that the poor sod thought it was still 2023. And on top of all that, we already have a rematch set. No retirements in sight.

    Seriously, just stop. You don't understand boxing, and you have to be honest with yourself after so many embarrassingly bad predictions. You worship Fury but don't understand anything that's actually going on in boxing. Just enjoy the ride and appreciate the fact that you can witness an all-time great in Usyk.

    I would fight Fury, AJ, Zhang (in China) to get the maximum paydays.

    Fury fight. If he wins that. Hes completed the game. Took on the two best. Giving them two chances at it each.

    For context: Upon retirement, Muhammad Ali said his one big regret, a test of his mettle that he was never able to take, is that he never got the chance to fight a Chinese heavyweight in his forties.

    If he fights 2 more years he is going to take a loss
    He gets hit often, despite kind of dominating, and he will slow even more

    He doesn't beat Aj if he fights him again next year time waits for no man

    One year ago he said, he will beat Fury, have one more fight in Ukraine and then retire.

    I would be happy to see him announce his retirement now, undefeated, undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World.
    As the American showman P.T Barnum is supposed to have said, "Always leave them wanting more

    Fury rematch (2024)
    IBF: Dubois/Joshua winner (2025)
    WBO: Parker (?) (2025/2026)
    WBC: Kabayel (?) (2026/retirement)

    But as we know the longer a guy is made to wait the more likely someone takes his spot.
    IBF Hrgovic > Dubois > Joshua?
    WBO Joyce > Zhang > Parker >

    As much as I like Zhang, that ship has sailed. It would be a pointless fight due to his age and stamina issues

    He’s 37 already. As a fan you want him to continue but honestly if he beats Fury again nowhere for him to go - he’ll be begging for a loss. And in this cold over analyzed and criticized internet era one loss will have so many people say oh he could never beat so and so and oh o knew he wasn’t good. If he loses to Fury have a trilogy either way - Fury should be his last opponent. He’ll be 38 a month after next fight.

    It would be awesome to see Usyk beat Fury again and end his career on the highest note possible. Although I suppose, what would be best for boxing as a whole, would be for Fury to win the next fight and then have a third and leave behind a somewhat remarkable trilogy, depending on the quality of the fights themselves.
