Who should Usyk fight before he retires?

this is the only answer. Beat whoever wins, become undisputed again, retire on an insanely high note.

 

He can completely clean the division out like 80's Iron Mike did. Beyond that, nothing. He really did beat the game.

 

Martin Bakole.

 

Zhang

 

would be a 2025 replay of 1978’s Holmes-Shavers.

 

I'd like to see him fight Parker and Zhang.

If I recall right, I read at some point that when Uysk moved up he said he wanted to fight Fury, AJ and Wilder. He's already conquered Fury and AJ twice, and while I'm sure a fight with Wilder could be made for the right money, Wilder's pretty irrelevant in the heavyweight landscape at this point. The best replacements are the guy who pitched a shutout against him and the guy who knocked him out in 6.

Not unrealistic fights either, considering Zhang will soon be fighting for the WBC Interim title and mandatory status, and Parker for the IBF title. I could see Usyk satisfying a mandatory and fighting to become undisputed again before calling it a day.

Both are prolly kinda foregone conclusions, as much as something can be in boxing at least, since Zhang has an incredibly limited gas tank and everything Parker does Usyk does better, but I prefer Parker to a Dubois rematch and Zhang's been a dream fight of mine for a long time, since they've been my favorite active heavies since I started watching and I'd like to experience a fight between two of my favorites. Plus it'd be nice to see Usyk beating some non British heavies

 

Usyk v zhang would be a waste of time imo. Zhangs good but usyk would tire him out in about 2 rounds.

 

AJ, Fury, Dubois in a fatal 4 way

 

Allegedly usyk made 130 mil for the second fury fight and 50 for the first fury fight.
About 60 mil for both joshua fights
8 mil for dubois
And probably 10 mil for all his other fights. So 250 mil is his career purse.
He is never for it because of the money, this guy fights because he is a fighter and in for legacy

 

Dubois.... Just because Usyk will be undisputed again.... That is if no one else strips a belt before then

 

Winner of Dubois vs Parker then winner of Fury vs AJ then retire irrespective of results.

 

Retires or fight Parker if He manages to heat Dubois other than that nothing to prove.

 

What has Zhang done to “deserve” a shot?

 

One fighter peaks way above the rest. Sugar "Sweet Hands" Jake Paul.

I am in no way biased by my desire to see Usyk leave the sport by brutally sparking Paul and taking home one hundred million.
