Eddie Hearn Using Usyk's Name As A Bargaining Tool In Order To Blackmail Whyte!

Oleksandr Usyk "should become" automatic WBO mandatory challenger for Anthony Joshua if the Ukrainian moves up to heavyweight, says promoter Eddie Hearn.

Hearn told Sky Sports: "Under the WBO rules, Usyk, once he steps up - if he steps up - should become that automatic mandatory. I was with the WBO last week in Puerto Rico.

"Dillian is No 1. That won't be called for another month or so, and it's not due until September, October, but Dillian is in the running to be that mandatory, but if you turn down a shot at the world heavyweight title, these don't come around very often

"I want to make sure that deal is good enough for him to accept, but I also want him to take it, because this is it. This is the world heavyweight championship.

"You've got a chance to fight for it, in your own country, to become the king of the division."

Just last 2 months ago he was talking about putting in Usyk with the likes of Jarrell Miller, Dillian Whyte, Derek Chisora, Adam Kownacki, Luis Ortiz.

"Ultimately if he talks about the likes of Joshua, he needs to move into those realms of opponents and size, sooner rather than later," Hearn told Sky Sports.

"He is 31, so he's a spring chicken in terms of miles on the clock in the professional game, but he's good enough to go on and mix it with those top heavyweights now. You look at the opponents for Usyk at heavyweight - Jarrell Miller, Dillian Whyte, Derek Chisora, Adam Kownacki, Luis Ortiz. There's so many fights for him at heavyweight that he could jump straight into.''

Now Dillian is refusing to be a mug and accept a flat fee, Hearn decides to use Usyk's name, when he knows damn well he has absolutely no intention of pairing him against Joshua so soon. He wants him to get some wear and tear, age him out some more until he's mid 30's and then consiier fighting Joshua.

Little old man amputee Povetkin, was boxing Joshua's head off and winning the fight until his age caught up with him and depleted his gas tank leading him to getting knocked out. Usky has the youth, actually has arms, and possess elite iron man triathlon level conditioning and is thrice the boxer Povetkin is, with thrice the chin and durability.

Eddie Hearn is using Usyk in the most dastardly of ways. He will use his name and reputation which he worked so hard to build and achieve to prop up matchroom while using it to blackmail his own less significant fighters into accepting bull**** terms and use Usyk to set up to provide big paydays for his mates like what he did with Tony Bellew. And what he did with Rocky Fielding with Canelo.

Neither of those men stood a chance. They were pointless fights for both Usyk and Canelo respectively since they were glorified sparring sessions. They simply served to pay off scrubs with big pay days

How long before the minions begin turning on Usyk when he starts complaining about offfers he's recieved? How long before we hear that he is an ungrateful ******* that would be nothing without hearn once he starts revealing that they are doing everything to keep him away from having his mandatory shot?
