    It's admirable what Mikey is doing. Can't knock a guy for testing the waters in a new division. You're talking 2 different styles. Usyk uses his speed. If he loses that with the added weight, he is in some serious trouble. Smart on his part for taking tune ups. If Mikey gets destroyed he will have had more balls than brains. If he wins, he is #1 P4P.

    Wilder would knock Usky clean out.

    Yep, he will find a fighter named Usky, who also looks similar to Usyk, KO him and claim he actually KOed the real Usyk.

    This is the smart thing to do. He's simply testing the waters. He's doing nothing wrong. HW is no joke, it's an open weight class.

    Announcement on Usyk’s next fight within the week. Eddie Hearn has whittled it down to two opponents - it will either be Povetkin or Takam, that’s a definite.

    Anybody know which venue in Chicago the fight will likely be held? Would definitely like to buy tickets for this one.

    Not at all. Everyone does it their own way.
