Option 1: Fight mandatories Parker, Kabayel, Itauma, get $60M in total Option 2: Fight big names like AJ, Fury, Jake Paul, get $200M in total Usyk is smart and he'll choose Option 2.
Parker or Kabayel first yes please 2 both fights.Let Itauma get a few more wins under his belt first.
Nah ,thats imho a purely false assumpion . A boring aj trilogy or a fury out of retirement trilogy , let alone jake paul , will not generate worldwide more money ( and ppv ) than a wbo or wbc title defence against new and promising contenders . Usyk avoids parker and kabayel because he fears to loose / its a risky fight , not because he can earn more with fighting retired fury or jake paul .
I can’t see the interest in itauma vs usyk, I would actually love to see usyk retire, top of his game, with nothing at all left to prove! The problem for itauma now is that he’s surrounded by the hype and has enjoyed the interest in his career off the back of it, They’ve actively searched out a big name for his record in dillian whyte, you can’t now go back-pedalling, we’ve heard the talk it’s now time to walk the walk I saw that they’d passed on the Sanchez fight, what was the reason given?
I really hope Usyk isn't totally serious when he talks about facing Fury, Joshua or Chisora again. The Fury and Joshua fights were brilliant at the time but we don't need to see them again. No more Usyk rematches, PLEASE. I'd even rather see him fight Parker, and I'm not too enthusiastic about that one as I've said before, as I think it's a one-sided boxing lesson from Usyk. Kabayel would be my ideal opponent for Usyk next, plus I feel Kabayel deserves it slightly more than Parker. Itauma is definitely WAY too soon. If Usyk is retired by the time Itauma gets his title shot, so be it. He shouldn't be rushed. However, they do need to get him fighting way more often and against more durable opponents, as blowing guys out in a round or so and then not fighting for 5-6 months is just ridiculous.
Thank you! This hype around this dolt moses doesn’t even make sense! Who has he beat??? lol And let’s be honest… moses doesn’t ****ing want any part of Usyk But it’s funny how he keeps mentioning Usyk’s name in the same sentence as his even though moses doesn’t deserve to be mentioned there Talk about an undeserved privilege! Beats a shot zero chin Whyte… “Ohhh YEAH! Let the Usyk talks begin!!”
The most competitive fight left is probably Fury 3, especially if Fury comes to mix it up and do something different. It's not a necessary fight but it's clearly the most competitive on paper. AJ needs to rematch Dubious as it looks like he's dodging that rematch which is not a warrior thing to do. Chisora needs to get KO'd by Zhang three times just for our enjoyment. Parker needs to rematch Joyce and prove he's better than him (now at least), before he fights Usyk. Let's be serious. Joyce got destroyed twice by an old ogre then lost to Chisora. Yet he's still better than Parker! The way for 'moses' to prove he deserves Usyk is pretty simple, go KO Dubious better than Usyk. Then call him out. Problem is that moses and his team are terrified Dubious will KO him instead.
Parker v Wardley winner or Kabayel should be next for Usyk,I can’t understand why Parker is risking his mandatory position by facing Wardley,we all know what happened to Joyce when he took a stay busy fight whilst mandatory .
We had this already . He covered beyond an injury to even negotiate with parker and confirm he will be his next opponent , to defend his wbo title . He never did this . nobody asked him to actually fight parker next weekend ! Whatever , he is too injured to confirm he will defend his wbo title against parker but simultany ( beyond dancing and playing soccer in portugal ) he is fit enough to negotiate with other guys . You will never get a more obvious avoiding of a specific boxer .
