Where does Ustinov go next? He's 39 and time to do something.

    Feed him to Tyson Fury. That would give Fury work and Ustinov a retirement farewell.

    He's finally rated again by an ABC highly in the WBA.

    The Jennings/Ortiz winner will likely fight him at some point next year, and he's also on the radar of Chagaev.

    Jennings/Ortiz winner makes sense.

    Wasn't his uncle very ill in hospital?

    I can't see Fury ducking Ustinov. Fury signed to fight Haye and Wlad, plus, Ustinov has always looked very beatable.

    If I was Ustinov's promoters I would be throwing my name into the mix with Wilder and Joshua, two fights he could win.

    I think he deserves a shot at somebody before father time catches up.

    Ustinov clearly realizing he needs to make a serious push if he wants to get a shot at the title. Any big fight would be good.... Chisora? Takam, Helenius?

    I think he should go for Chisora. Winnable fight against a highly ranked contender who seems to be fading. Arreola, Stiverne as well but those fights would be a little harder to make than Chisora.

    All three would be fun to watch. I think Ustinov KO's Chisora, Arreola (easy) and Stiverne would be a late stoppage if not a decision. Good fights , but Chisora doesn't want to step into the ring with him. It makes better sense for Chisora to avoid him until someone else retires Ustinov in his early 40's. Chisora wants a payday and that's all. His heart isn't really into boxing, but money is the name of the game I suppose.

    Ustinov was all signed and ready for Chisora!!

    Chisora pulled out twice!!!

    Fighters that found excuses to pull out of a
    signed boxing match against Ustinov...

    Tyson Fury
    Kimbo Slice
    Derrick Chisora
    Sam Peter

    Ustinov is trying to step-up the opposition
    but the Harris and Airichs guys step in as
    late subs to be KTFO!!

    so he's staying busy but KTFO bums...
