    I would be very surprised if it was in Ukraine. Hearn is probably not ruling out Ukraine if it offers the most money. I think it will be over here again.

    usyk doesn't mind travelling and probably thinks he will stop Joshua next time. Joshua has to change the game plan for the next fight. Joshua probably throws the kitchen sink and then gets stopped around 8-12.

    The fight will go where the money is.

    Who would blame usuyk to go with wherever he feels he can earn the biggest payday possible. Usuyk should take advantage of the position his now in and maximise his earnings as best he possibly can. That certainly won't be in the Ukraine.

    Watch the fights and decide yourself.

    V Malik Scott and V Dave Allen

    The Scott fight is one of the worst professional fights I’ve ever seen. Whilst Joshua gets criticism sometimes for his opponents you watch those two fights above and then try and justify him getting a shot at Joshua on the back of them.

    Exactly. Who is ducking Ortiz anyway? It's myth that Wilder spreads.

    When in fact Ortiz turned down the chance to fight Whyte whilst he was with Match Room and also turned down the offer to fight AJ as Millers replacement.

    Recently Ortiz was to turned down the elimnator for the IBF mandatory against Hrgovic ( the actual avoided guy in the divison).

    Whyte also turned down Ortiz in a WBC eliminator. Spin that for me.

    He did and opted fight a better opponent for more money.

    Doesn't change the fact that Ortiz turned down the chance to fight Whyte to fight a weaker opponent.

    Don't moan about not getting a title shot at Wilder then.

    Ortiz turning down $7 mil to fight AJ has to be one of the dumbest decisions any boxer has made.

    This. Ortiz was signed to be an opponent for AJ.

    They gave ortiz two opponents to look good against to build him as a credible opponent and Ortiz blew it with two terrible performances.
