    Winner of Parker-Wardley
    Kabayel
    Ituama

    If Usyk runs that gauntlet and retires, would be incredible. But I think Kabayel would beat him.

    Ituama's off the table and if he does take Kabayel win or lose i'd respect the hell out of usyk taking that fight but wont be shocked if he ducks.

    good to hear the winner of parker/wardley will get a shot at usyk although i doubt we get 5 more fights from usyk, at least not all of them in boxing at this point.

    I think Kabayel is what people thought Bakole was. He's the legit boogeyman. Strong, skilled, heavy hitter to the body, aggressive, good chin, good recovery, good stamina. He's a bad MF.

    Mrbigshot, Like a Boss, Dubblechin....rejoice!

    Ask, and you shall receive!

    Some of us told you!

    And, double cheers... "Lapin believes Usyk has perhaps five more fights remaining,"

    And, triple cheers..."but that a third fight with Tyson Fury isn’t likely one of them."

    Whilst I'm happy he's going to face the winner of J-Park vs Fabio, I think it's extremely ill-advised for him to continue boxing after facing the winner because he will be almost 40 by the next time he fights after that and his style and success hinges on speed, agility, reflexes, reaction times and his legs and he's already slowed down a lot in that regard.

    He's going to lose for sure in the next few years if he continues boxing and there are so many who are desperate to see him do so and will absolutely crucify him and tear his legacy to shreds for taking a loss at 39 or 40 when well past his prime to a much bigger and younger fighter, and highly likely a huge puncher too, and the fact they are just itching to do so and would do so says a lot about them and how threatened they are by his success because he's arguably the most honourable fighter to ever lace up a pair of gloves, has done everything any fan could ask if any fighter or want them to and often done it on a deck stacked against him, and he hasn't put a foot wrong or given them any ammunition whatsoever, even a round, to hate on him. Ever.

    What hasn't he done? What more could he have done? He's so inferior to the greats of previous eras, and make no mistake about it this is exactly what many believe or secretly believe behind the faux appreciation of him, that they hold him to a standard they hold no other fighter in history to, an impossible one.

    No one would be crucified like him for losing at his age, let alone to a younger or much younger and bigger massive puncher and knowing him it would be in their backyard too

    Yay! Finally! If Parker makes it through this Wardley fight unscathed it will be pretty good timing for him.

    I do think the extra time will be good for Usyk though with how much he prepares for opponents, despite his advancing age.

    But yeah, if Usyk fights 5 more opponents at the top level until he is 41, there is a pretty high chance he catches a loss.

    Calm down dude ... if he will indeed fight parker ( or wardley ) i,m the first to cheer and hope usyk delivers a good fight . But currently its only words , so i believe it when team parker confirms talks and a fight date is set , not earlier .

    Assuming he always wanted to fight parker next , his current moves ( the request of injury extension ) make zero sense , it only damaged his credibility .

    In this case he should have negotiated parker straight away and just mentioned that the actual fight will happen in may 2026 due to the fact he needs to recover and wants some time off . Everybody would have agreed and no discussion about fishy injuries and dancing events would ever take place .

    Actually its really only words .

    Great news. The Gypsy ***** should grow a pair and face Joshua if he wants to be back at the Usyk sweepstakes.
