Mairis Briedis considering moving to heavy weight.

I don't know how you guys feel about Usyk's chances, but I think he is going to to win the split-off WBO title. When he does, Usyk-Briedis II is a natural.

 

Wouldn’t surprise me tbh.

 

Really? He and Usyk at 215 lbs, being younger than 41 y.o old 225 lbs Povetkin might be worse matchup for Whyte than Povetkin.
They most likely will polyaxe Whyte easier than 37 y.o Povetkin not even 41 y.o Povetkin version.
Briedis btw already had polyaxed Charr and this then, yeah, was in top 10 in HW rankings.

Depends from matchup.
He maybe even do not wish to challenge for HW tittle but might destroy some dinosaurs from TOP10 and collect nice paychecks.
Yeah, he might be more dangerous in HW than Usyk because he clinches damn well and might use mid - close distance with a glance.

If head is hit, doesn't much depends guy weight is 250 lbs or 210 lbs in the ring.
To land this on dinosuar is easier than on prime shape & then younger Usyk that was true world class amateur superstar even if not counted his Oly Gold medal to add to his accomplishments.
