Usyk seems to confirm that he is going to fight on after Dubois

Parker put it to Usyk recently that he'd like to fight him and Usyk said "No, no, no."

 

Yes hes going to fight his "mandatory" Chisora to fufill the prophecy of rematches.

"I love my British opponents".

Yeah I think everyone figured that one out already.

 

Sad to say but he’s definitely not retiring undefeated

 

Usyk will continue until he loses to someone who is a level below him, just like so many legends have before him. His team should be telling him it's time to bow out after Dubois 2. I suspect Krassyuk might have said something along these lines and it hasn't gone down too well with those who are on the Usyk gravy train.

Father Time is undefeated, and Usyk is no different; every fight after this Dubois match will be one that he could lose because of his age. He's an icon, but I don't see him as the indestructible force that many people do. He has nothing left to prove; he's cleaned out this era, albeit a meager one, and if he hangs around too long, he will eventually lose to someone he would never have lost to a year or two ago.

 

He will be the first to retire undefeated since Marciano. After Dubois it's Fury 3. Usyk will know when it's time to go, the new generation will start sweeping up in 2 years

 

he is going to fight:
Fury - 3 times
Joshua - 3 times
Dubois - 2 times
Chisora - 2 times

Somehow he will probably end up fighting Gassiev a second time too, or something as equally stupid.

 

The people who exist now are completely futuristic to many people who existed in the past, making us now way ahead of our time from back then. If you cannot understand that then I'm afraid you are just a big stupid head. Usyk though from now, will make the future Usyk look like he was just living in the past.

 

Parker : “I went up to him and said, ‘You’ve got two fights left. Next is Dubois, and your last one should be with me.’ And he replied, ‘No, no, no.’”

Feel free to find and post Usyk denying what Parker said.

 

Beating Parker after Dubois is better for legacy than Fury 3. Unless Fury beats another top HW, like Parker, I dont see how Fury 3 *should* happen before Parker.

Happy to see any of those three fight though

 

Of course he is. His last fight won’t be a knockout loss to Dubois.

 

Usyk had stated some time ago that he would have 2 fights before retiring. One is with Dubois, the other I don't know. In the interview where he had said about these 2 fights before retiring he had added that he would like a fight with shootfighter Alex Pereira. In my opinion it is very unlikely to see Usyk - Pereira, we will know more after the 19th.

 

Noticeable that he hasn't mentioned Parker at all except to downplay the possibility of a fight. In theory Parker should be his next fight if he beats Dubois, that or he drops the belt. He has even mentioned guys like Periera etc before an actual contender other than one he has already beaten.

Usyk gets a bit of a pass because he is likeable, but another champ would be getting roasted for only fighting every 8 months and holding up the division like he has. I get it, he has rematch clauses etc, but still the gap between fights is way too long when you hold most/all the belts in the division.

Also is it just me or is he looking noticeably older here?

 

WSB was under pro rules. Under pro rules, he did fight Joyce, and mauled him. Pretty much used Joyce's face as a speed bag. Yeah, doesn't count for his record, but he beat him.
