So, if Usyk didn't sign with Zuffa, then what is he doing?

    I support the man, and am very grateful to have seen his run, but it's time to sign a fight, already. Preferably against Kabeyel or Wardley.

    I think one thing that has come up is that the whole "Usyk 17" is not just a health product line, but it it, if I understand it, an attempt to create an entire brand similar to Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua. I wish the man well in that, but I just hope fighting is not going to take second place. If he is only going to fight once a year, it really would be time to reduce down to one title and let some of these guys seek their fortunes. If he did that, I would not even mind seeing him against Verhouven or Periera. But let's let Agit get his shot through other means, then.

    Anyway, good luck to the man, always. Hope we get word, soon.

    I like Usyk but if he plans to fight once a year for the next 3 years, he will be dethroned. I would like to see him retire undefeated.
