    Usyk needs to sever ties with E-Hearn because he's in the Anthony Joshua protection business first and foremost and his priority is always going to be to stack the deck in his golden goose's favour as opposed to looking out for Usyk's best interests. Problem is who does he sign with instead? I think fellow EE Andrey Ryabinsky would have his back 100% but I don't see that happening.

    Always felt there was a huge conflict of interest for other HWs in the Matchroom stable.. They advised Whyte to pass on multiple WBC eliminators that would have made him the mandatory years ago while negotiating a deal with Wilder and DAZN thought didn’t have Whyte no where in the contract.

    And they’ve been trying to convince Usyk to bypass his mandatory. It would be great for us fans if Fury vs Joshua would be for Undisputed but bad for Usyk because in the end whomever win the fight will still vacate the belt.. Eddie Hearn had been working in the best interest of AJ while conflicting his other HWs on the process..

    Hgrovic also didn't progress at all since he signed with them and they weren't "able" to get Hunter a fight after the draw with Povetkin.
