    Sadly it won't be available either as WBA will force their mandatory Daniel Dubois.

    Dubois, the WBA 'regular' champ is injured. Bakole, who is the only person rated above Wilder in the WBA, has a fight signed in April.

    That would make Wilder the top available WBA contender. :)

    Wilder sleeps the feather fisted little cruiser in six.

    The only person that deserves that shot is Joyce IMO.

    I'm OK to see Wilder vs Usyk or Hrgovic vs Usyk. as long as we don't have to wait for months and months

    Why elite fighters only fighting once per year ?

    Deontay Wilder won the WBC belt in January 2015 and was attempting to make his 11th defense when he lost to Fury in February 2020.

    That's 12 title fights in basically five years. (And there would've been more but he suffered numerous injuries that forced him to have multiple surgeries in the time frame,)

    How long would it take Usyk to have 12 heavyweight title fights? 12 years?

    The sport needs Wilder back with a belt. ;) There's too much verbal jabbing on social media and not enough actual fights.

    Usyk has the skills to float to a UD, but Wilder nearly always lands atleast one bomb. Usyk couldnt survive that IMO.
    Tough fight to call, but one I'd certainly get excited to watch. I'd prefer this than Dubois getting a shot.

    Prefer this to Dubois, will be fascinating to see if Usyk can avoid the right hand for 12 rounds.

    Funny thing is, we've also seen Wilder take a couple of real heavy beatings from Fury, and he maintained his heart and threat level untill he could no more.
    I dont see Usyk pushing Wilder the way Fury did (see Chisora for comparison if needed). Wilder would be even more dangerous vs Usyk and for a more sustained length of time.
    Pitty patty boxing cant deter that atomic bomb. It would be edge fo seat stuff until the very final bell (unless its over earlier, ofcourse).

    That little cruiser made your overlord **** his pants, vassal.

    So you agree with the vassal I quoted above about Wilder KOing Usyk fast, yet in this post you pretend to think "it will be fascinating to see if Usyk can avoid the right hand for 12 rounds". Lol. No wonder you like Fury, mate. You seem to have the same ideas about honesty.

    As for the fight: Usyk can do everything Fury can do in the ring - and more. Usyk would box Wilder's ears off with ease. Somehow Fury fans think it's a big achievement to beat Wilder. An ancient Ortiz was dominating the guy until he ran out of gas and was caught as a result. An out-of-shape, undertrained fat blob Fury dominated Wilder and hit him at will with 150 power punches - guess what Usyk could do then. Heck, even a journeyman Szpilka caused all types of problems for Wilder. Wilder can't box, he has **** balance, **** coordination, no defence, and no head movement. The only problem for Usyk fighting a guy like that would be boredom as he would dominate him so easily.
