Usyk likely to fight Wilder next according to Eddie Hearn

There'll be too much money in the Itauma fight I think. If Moses blasts Hrgovic away and then smokes Dubois, Turki will offer him $100 million+ to fight Itauma at Wembley.

 

The fight aint happening. Usyk checks out after Wilder and retires unbeaten

 

I hope you're right, I think Zuffa are going to make a monster bid for Itauma, they'll sign Usyk, and then Usyk will be given an offer that enormous that he can't refuse.

 

Mark my words... Usyk will beat Wilder.

 

That's a bold prediction right there.

I predict Wilder will be beaten prior to the fight by his ring walk costume, it will be too heaavy you see, by his trainer who drugged him and by the egg weights he imagines are in Usyks gloves.

 

LMAO

 

Make it make sense ! Hell yeah give up all the Belts if your retiring,but if your giving up all the Belts avoiding all the mandatory’s for them and then going to fight on and against a fighter that has been shot for years like Wilder ! Had this been any other Heavyweight pulling this they would be completely Riddick Bowe’d on here !

 

If he was in his prime you’d have a point but for what he’s calling the last dance probably his last fight? Give the guy a break

 

I'm shocked. Who could have predicted this?

 

If he signs with Zuffa he can **** off, nobody should be giving that outfit credibility. How many more millions does he need when he's been getting apparently north of 50 million per fight at least, some sources cite 90+ million? even for Dubois 2! Is it worth fighting under their banner for more, Usyk is a principled man by all accounts. Then again if you take the Saudi money what's the difference in fighting under Zuffa, it seems like it's only the fans that are hostile to Dana and a couple of hold out fighters or ones under good contracts for the time being lol. If it pays most will go there, a tale as old as time in the sport. At least he relinquished the belts, remember, they want to bury the decades standing historic governing bodies, oh wait, or do they? Nobody knows what their plan or ideology actually is. We know what White's record is and it doesn't bode well for the sport if it's built in his vision backed by Saudi's billions. Turki would have been better off working with the current operators to reshape the sport, better the devils you know and all that.

 

Maybe he wants to help his country.

 

He took tons of punches from Fury in fight 3 before succumbing to exhaustion and attritional battering, and stayed up through solid punches from reasonably heavy hitters in Ortiz, Breazeale, Chisora, Molina. Only Zhang KO'ed him clean, and he might have the heaviest hands ever. His chin's fine.

 

While I'm disappointed that Usyk didn't spend his final fights with intriguing matchups like Kabayel or even a Hrgovic Zhang type, I respect the fact that he dropped his belts to take this fight. Many would've tried to sell it as a viable title fight, which of course it isn't.
