Usyk is at the end. He didn't make a lot of money until the last couple years. This is his big cash out. He had 350 amateur fights and fought pros in the WSB before officially turning pro. He's done.

He hasn't sought out any other heavyweight contenders. Just looking for one last payout.

He's not looking to lay down. He's putting in the work. But this is a mismatch all the way around, from size, power, age, promoter, locale, officials ... every way imaginable.

Usyk will likely retire after he loses this. Joshua likes to fight names at the very, very, very end of their careers. And Usyk is about 400 fights in and fighting above his best weight at this point.

There have been roughly 60 cruiserweight champions. Only two won heavyweight belts. The one's who did didn't wait until they were in the mid-30s to step up.

This isn't the start of some long career and a ton of defenses for Usyk. This is his goodbye to the sport on a large stage.

And he's just another retiree to add to Joshua's record.

Joshua fought 41-year-old Wlad in Wlad's last fight. Wlad retired afterward. Joshua fought 39-year-old Pulev in his last fight. Pulev vanished immediately. Joshua fought 39-year-old Povetkin in what everyone thought would be his last fight. Povetkin only fought one guy after that - Whyte). He's retired now. Joshua fought 47-year old Matt Skelton in his last fight. Usyk will likely get stopped and retire, too.

Don't fight the names until they are on their last legs. Preferably in their last fight. That seems to be the trend here.

Now, there are talks of Joshua fighting an exhibition with 55-year-old Mike Tyson after Usyk.

Of course he is.

Joshua should stop Usyk, and then he'll probably beat his chest and act like it was a huge accomplishment.

In all honesty, this should look like Tyson-Spinks or Frazier-Foster.

If it doesn't, then Joshua has some explaining to do.

Say what?

Usyk cashed out in 2021?
