    In Kiev they can't even take 50 euro per seat. In eastern Europe there is no money besides Moscow

    Kiev but it's probably going to be in Saudi Arabia or somewhere like that

    Champ should be able to have a homecoming.
    But if not, I think Germany will be a prime location. Wlad had a lot of his bouts there so makes sense to me.

    If any champion in boxing deserves a homecoming it’s Usyk. I think it’ll be a moot point though. I expect Joshua to retire or take a long break from the sport.

    As a german myself I would like to have it here. The problem is that Usyk (dispite beating the **** out of Marco Huck) is only known to the hardcore boxingfans here in germany. So i think it wouldn't sell well here.

    It should be where it makes the champion the most money. That's probably in London.

    That’s unfortunate, if it’s going to boil down to Money it’s going to have to go back to London. I don’t think their stock in US would be much better either.

    Have it in the States or even Germany

    Any close fight will be awarded to Aj. Judging by Fosters card, it doesn't even need to be close

    Hearn and his cronies are absolute crooks and that bell rang early to save the bodybuilder

    Tbh I think Aj will let his hands go more and get stopped anyway

    It would make more money in UK that's for sure but Uysk isn't about money. If it's be staged in Ukranie with a Lomachenko fight on the Undercard it will created a real hype there.

    AJ need's a K.O. to win anyway

    Wilder will be put completely out of commission in about a month with a severely dented head.
    Then we will never see you again

    Unless the contract specifies it has to be in the UK, Usyk should dig his heels in and insist on Ukraine or Vegas. Maybe even MSG for the lols.

    As much as I like the big fights being in the UK he'd be mad to willingly surrender home advantage. Also, future fights may be in Vegas so wouldn't be a bad idea to build his profile over there.
