Will AJ Vacate the WBO rather than fight Usyk?

no

 

Eddies put the feelers out there for dropping it hasn’t he?

Although AJ has always been adamant he will never drop a belt outside the ring so I just can’t see it happening.

The fight goes ahead.

 

Has Hearn really come out and said nobody really knows who usyk is?

 

Definitely a duck if he avoids him. Usyk has headlined two UK PPV's, even casuals recognise the name.

 

U

Usyk Bellew did 700k PPV buys, Usyk is definitely well-known, not greatly, but he isn't an unknown quantity to UK supporters.

 

Hearn has been planting seeds so yes, he will vacate.

 

Hearn and Joshua's stance from day dot has been about all the belts and undisputed.i would be surprised and disappointed if he drops the belt.

 

I take it that it’s Joyce vs Usyk if Joshua vacates the WBO?

 

No.

Joshua likes those belts.

 

Voted no.

I think AJ believes he has the beating of Usyk and rightly so.

Apart from undisputed which is enough of a reason not to vacate, there is also the fact that outside of Fury/Wilder this is one of the biggest fights there for him, so he really has no reason to vacate. Usyk is more than a big enough name to sell a fight!

AJ is better of fighting a small ish purist boxer/mover than a heavy handed but less skilled natural HW who can KO him so this fight is good for him in my opinion. He's at far, far more risk of being knocked out than being outpointed over 12. He will also have to weight up the negative reaction to dropping a belt so everything considered he won't vacate.

 

I’d be surprised as we’ve been constantly told how passionate he is about being the undisputed champ.

I can’t imagine the additional money he’d make from fighting Whyte is worth losing a title over.

 

Is there a date for AJ v Usk??

 

Tony Dosh PPV has a career that has been so carefully managed to date, he will never be short of money and there is simply no excuse for the duck.

Surely with all that PPV Loot and a few mansions in Lootsville, he should be chasing the glory fights now carving out a sporting career legacy.

People will look back at that CV and see all those puddings (except Wlad) with the Rice Pudding Jnr farcical night in New York his legacy career defining fight that people remember along with the Wlad fight.

Tony Dosh PPV loses all credibility if he ducks Usyk.

 

It'd be hilarious to hear what the caravan dwellers on here will say if AJ beats Usyk...
