    still no news??
    it was reported he had signed with Top rank
    then that was squashed, he hasn't signed with anybody but has offers from Top Rank and K2, then it's just gone quiet
    hope this guy doesn't stay amateur what a waste that would be
    hopefully theres an announcement soon

    He is a great talent, but the fact that he's not quite big enough for HW, and his apparent vulnerability 'gainst that Romanian(?) kid (wait a damn minute...).. Nistor. Might have made his asking price too high. Just speculation mind, but to my eyes, for all his talent, he ain't a guy on a different level like Loma.

    Nistor knocked out Joshua in Ankara. And I thought Usyk did pretty good against Nistor, Nistor is bigger and very strong. And Usyk will likely go pro at Cruiser.
    Usyk is negotiating with more promoters than top rank. That's what's going on I think. He's TBA on a top rank show though IIRC.

    mate Usyk is a very special talent, p4p number 2 in the amateurs, world championships gold, olympics gold, undefeated in WSB, he's on a massively high level, non one can compare to Lomachenko, but Usyk is not far behind. The way he beat up guys much heavier than him in WSB was really impressive

    He is scheduled to be fighting on the same card as Loma's debut.

    Usyk beat Nistor, Nistor stopped Joshua and made him look like a drunk hobo doing the limbo so if Usyk is "vulnerable" and not a HW then wtf is Joshua?

    No just false reporting by Rafael and ESPN.

    He's scheduled on the JMM Bradley card, promoted by TR. This is per boxrec, which is often unreliable though.

    Anatoliy Lomachenko and Klimas his manager are more reliable and both said Usyk wasn't signed to TR after ESPN and Rafael reported it. Klimas who is also Kovalev's manager said Usyk would be in the UK for Kovalev/Clev and he'll be talking with K2 soon if not already, not sure who else.

    Anthony Joshua got caught by a lucky punch and he couldn't recover. Joshua was winning on the scorecards but he got knocked out. The fight was a fluke actually.

    Athony Joshua is best Amateur HW in the World. He has the Gold medal from the London Olympics to prove it. He got caught by a lucky punch mate.

    :lol: i doubt you've even seen it. When you're a pressure fighter like Nistor who is able to constantly get inside again and again and again and land big shots there's nothing lucky about it. Kind of similar to how Savon was able to do the same and outclass him only to get robbed. Lose 50% of your fights, get awarded a gold medal. Only in the UK.

    :lol: Joshua lost 3 times at the Olympics to Cammerelle, Dychko and Savon
    it was the biggest fraud I have ever seen in boxing, clearly it was fixed.

    There is no way he is the best in the world and it wasn't a lucky ounch did you see the fight you idiot?

    wow we have a massive Joshua fanboy already with deluded views

    I personally thought Savon was badly robbed, the other two I thought Joshua won though.
