    It bugs me so bad that Usyks gonna trade his undefeated record for a couple more millions, by fighting past his best.

    I still think he will beat Dubois even at his advanced age; I doubt he will take many more fights beyond that, possibly the Joshua-Fury winner if that fight materialises, or maybe a cash grab against Jake Paul. The good (or bad) thing about Usyk is that he is not egotistical, I don't think he would turn a fight down for fear of losing his zero, but on the flipside he would call it a day when he thinks he is truly done, and he wouldn't risk his health for the benefit of his bank balance. As someone who loves Usyk I hope he is taking the Dubois rematch solely to erase any possible controversy from the first fight (and I don't think there was anything controversial about the first fight, the low blow was called correctly). He has already cemented himself as the best CW and HW of his era (and possibly of all time); I hope he accepts that as the perfect note to go out on, and he doesn't try and establish himself as the best heavyweight of the succeeding era too.

    Ive noticed Usyk watching Itauma closely ringside. Might be getting ideas.
