Usyk will definitely duck Kabayel

    A win over Dubois who he has already fought and stopped would make Usyk a 2 time Undisputed Champion ! I think Usyk fights Dubois again then retires,then he can let the rest of the leading pack fight for the vacant belts,this option makes the most sense and is what Usyk will likely do imo .

    I think Kabayel is an excellent fighter, I am a big fan of his, but I think his body punching style works on folks with limited mobility and folks who do not use angles to reduce the range/impact of the opposition's offence. He'll be forced to think with Usyk. There is no saying that he can't win - it's heavyweight boxing after all. But to consider it a forgone conclusion doesn't feel right. Both of them can win and I dont think either of them will duck a tough challenge. Usyk is at the end of his career and I suppose his motivations now are different from an up & coming. We can sit here from behind a keyboard and type all we can :D

    It’s not a duck every time a fighter doesn’t fight who you want them to….

    I agree with this,Kabayel fight is right after Dubois. Kabayel should fight Parker next but Parker won't fight him.Kabayel looks hard work for anyone the way he's been fighting.Usyk i don't think would fight Kabayel,Most likely hang his gloves up before this.Whatever happens Usyk is still a all time great.

    Kabayel just beat a 41 year old, 4 round fighter and got dropped in the process when he won. Calm down with this nonsense. Kabayel is a good fighter but nowhere near a threat to Usyk. Let him earn his shot first.

    Usyk has proven throughout his career that he isn’t afraid of anybody.

    Kabayel i think the best H/W apart from Usyk/maybe Fury,the rest i think he beats well.
    ps Itauma might be one to look out for,would like him to fight AJ now i think he's ready.

    Double undisputed fighter who has cleaned out both CW and HW. He’s already achieved ATG status. Usyk doesn’t have anything else to prove and can retire any time he wants. He doesn’t need Kabayel. And even if he does fight and beat Kabayel you’ll just try to find an excuse to discredit Usyk.

    Gap tooth needs to either fight Kabayel after Dubois or retire right now. That idiot is going to take Dubois’ belt for the sake of it and retire. Why doesn’t he just get lost now and let Dubois have a title reign.

    Why does that bother you so much? Let them fight they are getting paid for it. And him beating Dubois is not a forgone conclusion - it's heavyweight boxing and he can get chinned. Happened to Lewis right?

    What's amazing is that Kabayel isn't even asking for an Usyk fight. So Usyk is somehow ducking a fighter who isn't even looking to fight him nor are any promoters even trying to make that fight happen.

    He said two more, and I am sure he would like to defend the undisputed championship.

    He's not going to get to Kabayel, though. He said Dubois and Pereira, and I have a feeling that the swell of public opinion is going to convince him either to fight Parker as his second, or maybe take it as a third. But he's just not going to get to Agit.
