    A bit unrealistic.Why wait 3 years?Usyk wants to move up when he becomes a unified champion cruiserweight division.No way he unifies the division, too many egos are involved to do that, also he won't participate the Super 8 tournament.Besides, K2 already had talks for unification fights, they failed to negotiate unification every time.Even if he moves up in 3 years time, he will be 33 by that time and he will likely be 35 years old when he fights for a title.He will start to slow down by that time.Joshua will be 32 years old and Usyk will be 35 if they fight. A complete mismatch in my view, if they will fight in these circumstances.

    In 3 years? It won't be nearly as exciting, AJ will have been KO'd at least 4 or 5 times by then.

    Usyk needs to work on his power.He is against lifting weights, bad idea if you want to fight Joshua.

    I don't think it's unrealistic. He's still a fresh fighter. He's defensively apt and has great boxing IQ. I could easily see Usyk being another Chris Byrd. Byrd got wins against Tua and Vitali in his early 30's.

    He wants to unify the cruiserweight division.

    Kind of risky, no guarantee Joshua will be still on top then, even though I think it's likely. And if Joshua is still on top, being more of a novice than Usyk, he will only have gotten better than he is now, making it a harder fight than now.

    Some random statement about fighting Joshua 3 years from now is quite frankly meaningless. Why not, now, jump up then move back down. Why 3 years, will it really take that long to unify, what if it happens sooner or later. So much of it is hypothetical it's utterly meaningless.

    Notice this punk Usyk dare speaks Deontay's name. He knows that he don't stand a chance against the real heavy weight champion. Don't be scared Ukranian, the bronze bomber holds the jewel of the heavyweight division. The Wbc championship belt!

    Usyk has zero chance against Joshua, not now and not in 3 years. Way too open to the right hand, no power to keep AJ off, he'd be asleep by round 3.

    He won't say wilders name for 2 reasons.

    1. Wilder won't fight him as usyk has a pulse
    2. Joshua brings 10x the money to the table.
