    I believe it’s just the MR contact. Not 100% sure though.

    Turki is a bellend honestly. He comes up with these bizarre fights thinking they will be competitive when all we want really is Usyk in with either Kabayel or Wardley. It’s like when he was talking about Tank Davis v Inoue. He’s the ultimate casual

    The reason I think he’s ducked Wardley is because shortly after rejecting that fight and downplaying its appeal he started talking about a fight against a washed up Wilder.

    It's like when WWE went to Saudi initally and they wanted Yokozuna despite him being dead for 20 0dd years

    Doesn't even watch the fights, just sits there talking to whichever celeb is sucking up to him.

    Doesn't take much googling to find some of fairly unsavoury stuff about him.

    Boxing is just a vehicle to push an agenda, the notion he is some sort of super fan is ludicrous

    Usyk ducked Wardley? I’ve read a lot of nonsense on here over the years but this might be the winner!

    Ducked is the wrong word, but he's clearly in no rush to unify again. He shouldn't be holding belts hostage with this nonsense, similar to Fury with the WBC and Ngannou.

    Part of me wonders if Usyk will soon be announced as the first Zuffa heavyweight champion and render the other belts "secondary"?
