    Next stop get him a trainer , because loma’s father thought him to never sit down on his punches , but I think that style will not work at heavyweight and stay away from wilder and joshua.

    He aint going to fight anyone. Hes WBO mandatory. Thus it will be either Joshua next or Fury/Parker for the WBO title.

    I think Usyk needs more time/fights at heavyweight before facing the top guys. Jumping from (unprepared) Witherspoon to Joshua or Ruiz is crazy.
    Just fight a solid full-sized HW first at least once again.

    This is a trap. :smile: Usyk's team needs to negotiate with whoever is in line behind him and the WBO officials for Usyk to step aside for a fight or two and (re)become the mandatory a little bit later.

    I think he will fight for WBO title around easter next year vs either Ruiz or Fury. If Joshua wins he will fight Pulev first then Usyk down the track. Fury wont rematch Wilder yet. Needs time for the eye to heal/strengthen. Hell go after WBO to get a title first.

    Usyk vs Breazeale sounds somehow reasonable.

    I wouldn't rush to fight top 10 guys yet, Usyk himself said that he wants to add some weight and accustoming takes time.

    I would have him fight the well known top fighter Derek Chisora. After all, everybody knows that to be considered worthy you have to beat Delboy. After Usyk whips him into oblivion, he just needs to lean back and receive all the credit for that momentous victory :deal:

    The answer is Junior FA.

    Sets him up nicely with a 6 '6 undefeated guy in the WBO and would be his safest relevant fight to a Joshua one.

    Should Ruiz win,its not that big of deal, Usyk going to win that one and wouldn't need a Joey D.Type of opponent.
