    A few things:

    1) He says he might fight in March. I don't see how that happens. It's February tomorrow.

    2) Yup, he's open to Fury again. Hopefully Wardley will be the filter on that, and Fury will have to bring a title to the table.

    3) Man, he's looking old.

    I just don’t get what’s happened to him. He’s turned into the guy he never was.

    just retire.

    Unfornatly for Usyk he's just not big sell a great tradegy, struggles to sell any arena which doesn't matter too much given Turki pays out anything but Turki still wants eyes on the sport....he needs Fury basically. Main reason Wilder was even talked about because maybe they could sell it but it was clear it wouldn't.

    Kabayel in Germany is what he should be going for...but I don't see him fighting Kabayel in March or April.

    Kabayel is going to be next, Wilder/Chisora winner, and Fury/Wardley winner. Retire.

    Agreed. Fight Kabayel in Germany in March or April and while Tyson is making his comeback (and possibly AJ) Usyk should fight Wardley by the end of the year in England (which would probably have a big crowd).

    I think Fury is going to fight Wardley, in the hopes that it can be a reset title unification with Usyk and Fury. Problem is, Wardley might win.

    If he fights Kabayel or Wardley in March, that's great.
    Unless it's already signed or about to be signed in the next few days, I don't see it happening. Even the end of March is only 8 weeks from now.

    Wardley should win, definitely.
    It wouldn't surprise me if Fury struggles with, or loses to, Makhmudov.

    I just saw The Smashing Machine last night. Usyk played some Russian fighter.

    They keep giving him cake on these movies and it's killing his gains.

    Can he just fight someone at this point? It's almost been a year and they haven't even officially announced his next bout. Ridiculous.

    Usyk said he will fight Fury again only if the undisputed is on the line. So yeah. But again, Usyk says a lot of things lately.

    He’s Icarus flying right into the sun and hasn’t noticed his wings are melting. Next real opponent hands him his first loss.
