    "enough low risk to be comfortable for usyk"

    I really don't know what Usyk has done to you but the trolling is getting beyond a joke now!

    Hello friends !

    When i say that i,m not sure if usyk intends to fight wardley at all , i am not trolling or 'hating' usyk but just share my opinion on this subject .
    I,m glad to hear initial negotations have begun but that is still far away from a confirmed fight .

    If they fight happens i will hope both perform great and may the best man win !

    I hope Usyk fights Kabayel & drops the WBO belt.

    No one cares about these scammy pry offs by british promoters. Usyk is undisputed until he either decides he isn't, or someone convincingly beats him.

    Usyk's manager, Sergey Lapin, now saying Wardley should fight Itauma first, before fighting Usyk.

    “It would be great to see Fabio face Itauma for the world title. It would be a truly exciting fight and a serious test for both before facing the big boss of boxing” - Sergey Lapin, manager of Usyk

    Strong suggestion there that Usyk will vacate the WBO belt and Wardley will fight somebody for it, before the winner fights Usyk. Or does Lapin then suggest the winner of that one fight someone else before fight Usyk?

    First Parker. Now Wardley. This is getting tedious.

    And what does Usyk plan on doing in the meantime?

    Noted.

    What's Usyk's manager Sergey Lapin talking about then?

    Let's see how it pans out.

    Yeah I am not buying into this Fury being shot narrative. He looked good in both Usyk fights he was simply just beaten by the better man. Fury will stop Wardley in my opinion and it will create some buzz.

    Agreed. Just because Usyk beats you don't mean you are done.

    Chisora bounced back from losing to Usyk with wins over Pulev, Washington, Joyce and Wallin.

    Dubois bounced back from losing to Usyk with wins over Miller, Hrgovic and Joshua.

    Fury is a level above Chisora and Dubois, and he can bounce back from losing to Usyk too.
