    Okay but he does not answer to II I must warn you. He only answers to Ike or the President or preferably Ike the President. You don’t want to argue the point with him.

    Mate as much as I admire him as a fighter I totally get your point. Ask Lou Di Bella and others who have had the pleasure and pain.

    Nigerians love Tyson "The Nigerian King" Fury.

    Nigerians like good boxers but they don’t love him they just like him. He is the Gypsy King but can never be a king in Nigerian as he does not possess the equipment .

    I would favor Ike slightly in this match up.

    Ike was a relentless fighter who knows how to use his strengths. He's not a boxer, he's a fighter and he would go after Usyk from the opening bell.

    Chisora won 4 rounds off of Usyk with size, strength and pressure. Ike is a true heavyweight and he is a better fighter than Chisora.

    I can see the bigger and stronger Ike stopping Usyk in the late rounds or just overwhelm him to win a close decision. Not saying Ike is better than Usyk, but he has the style and size to beat Usyk.

    Ike gets taken to slick school assuming he can pass VADA that is. Usyk's speed, skill, footwork, movement and ring IQ would make him look even more slower, cumbersome and cruder than he usually did.

    Big Usyk fan, but Ike threw an unheard of number of punches against Tua, and took his power. Stylistically a difficult matchup for Usyk. If Ike had not gone to prison he may have ruled the heavyweight division. No way Wlad could slow him down.

    Wouldn't even be surprised if the boxing politicians played a role in him going away for that long. He was a dangerous monster but hard to market.

    He had three pending sexual assault convictions on top of the incident where he crippled the boy for life.

    A certain poster is going to come in here and tell me and you the it isn't true, but it is public knowledge.

    He went away for a long tome because he was a savage with multiple legal problems. Even once he was released, he went right back in due to parole violations stemming from a ruling on one of the previous cases.
