    He’s almost 39, maybe he should retire soon, we’ve seen wear and tear in his last few fights. He’s definitely slowing down and fighting on for the money. Johnny Nelson thinks Usyk is done.

    No because the truth is usually the opposite of what Johnny Nelson says.

    Johnny "Bellew is technically better than Usyk" Nelson could write a book on the 24-carat shite he's come out with over the last decade.

    Johnny Nelson always has an irrational hate for Usyk so of course he wants to believe that he's done. Usyk just whooped Fury twice two fight prior and somehow he's done at elite level?

    He’ll lose if he keeps fighting. How many fighters have been #1 at 40+? A handful

    He will probably lose eventually if he keeps on going. On a side note, I used to be a fan of Nelson, gone off him. Bet I'm not the only one.

    He is going to beat Dubois and then lose to Fury or Parker and lose all his aura and suddenly everyone will be calling him a bum and never that good to begin with. Its the natural life cycle for a popular fighter.

    No chance he loses to Fury who's no spring chicken himself

    Fury performed worse in the rematch. Usyk has his number

    Yeah its not likely at all, but imagine how funny it will be. We'd have to have Usyk vs Fury IV!

    And you never know, maybe Fury got medicated and has been in the gym, living the clean life and gotten back on the good stuff.

    Fury is a proud man and wants another chance, but if he loses again in England and goes 0-3? It will send him over the edge

    Boxing is crooked and if the fight plays out similar, then they may rob usyk, or at least make it a draw

    Money talks, but I hope we don't get to see it. Unless Fury beats a top contender first

    I'm a Usyk fanboy but he's getting old, I would retire soon. The money at this point is too tempting though, as it is for everyone. Would they even let him retire undefeated?
