Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk vs. Deontay Leshun Wilder

Be active.

Seriously, if Kabayel had been fighting 3 times a year instead of just 1, then he would likely be fighting Usyk next, even if he fought total bums. Staying active is the cheat code in boxing; it gets you ranked, it keeps you in the media, and it generates popularity.

 

I don't know, man. Tyson managed the win over Entienne after Lewis, but then lost to Danny Williams and Kevin McBride. Pretty well cooked.

 

I suppose in the fullness of time, it's a name on the resume. But I'm not very interested.

What I think is really crap here is that Wilder gets another title shot, where more deserving fighters (e.g. Kabayel) are being frozen out, and one has to look at Usyk here in this 2 x Joshua, 2 x Fury & 2 x Dubois, has clogged up other fighters opportunities a lot already, and now Wilder gets a shot even though he is probably not in any top 10 on any sanctioning body or ring lists etc.

If he wants the names / money fights, just drop the belts and let others duke them out!

Pretty rubbish!

 

Usyk is probably testing the ground to measure people's reaction. If fans show interest and Usyk sees there's big revenue, he'll fight Wilder. Otherwise he'll go to another route.
