    Here we go.

    Wilder-Chisora will be next for the WBC #1 spot.

    And Wilder is the only one left from their era who Usyk hasn't faced.

    Usyk-Wilder in the U.S. in 2026 for the World Title.

    Turki wanted this fight a while back. It sells in the States. It's the only heavyweight fight that does.

    Now what are the odds, when Wilder drops him late, that Jim Lampley dusts off his old Foreman-Moorer line, "It happened! It happened AGAIN!"

    The wheels are in motion. ;):campeon:

    Is this another Wilder's delusional ayahuasca vision where Kabayel doesn't exist?

    The only thing standing in Wilder's way from the number-one ranking is old Chisora.

    It's almost like this has been in the works for a while.;)

    The WBC has already said Usyk can fight anyone he wants until he retires. Kabayel is SOL, as they used to say.

    Bring on Wilder-Chisora. :bananaride

    He doesn't. The WBC said Usyk can fight anyone he likes. He earned it. They aren't stripping him.

    In his delusional mind probably so.

    Chisora now definitely beats Wilder...

    5 years ago it would've been competitive, but I'd have given Del an edge on style - he'd have put Wilder on the back foot where he was always ineffective.

    But now? Both are declined, but the loss of pace that comes with age hurts Wilder much more as he relied on it much more.

    I don't think Wilder's dumb enough to fight Chisora.

    (And either way, I don't think he's remotely close to worthy or interesting for Usyk to fight)

    He should have just took the $100m Anthony Joshua fight when he had the belt and retire after that

    Wilder missed the chance for huge money by not fighting Joshua when both were undefeated, now it's too late, speed and power have betrayed him and he can't beat a top fighter...

    If Wilder knocks out Chisora id happily see him fight Usyk.

    Is Usyk beats Dubois, then finishes with Wilder and Parker hes secured his legacy imo.

    But if Chisora beats Wilder we actually will see Usyk continue his mad run of rematching brits lmao

    He won't beat Chisora at this point. No trolling. Maybe prime for prime, but Chisora is beating relevant fighters, and Wilder is nowhere near.

    And what makes him think Chisora would be interested?

    If Usyk sticks around after Dubois, he'll have to fight mandos--Parker, Kabayal, Wardly...

    What did Wilder do to earn an eliminator title shot?

    Wilder looked slow as hell in his last fight, why do Americans want to see Wilder fight Usyk?

    The Wilder fight means nothing to Usyk`s legacy, Wilder is not a top fighter now.
