    It's not just about suiting another fighter though, is it?

    This is what the entire boxing world wants. And it's not just the fact that it's the first undisputed scenario for a long time, it's the fact that this will be the biggest boxing event for decades.

    Usyk has got a family? So what? Are they starving, and the WBO belt is all that will feed them?

    Joshua vs Fury for undisputed is 99% of people's first choice, Usyk hasn't done **** at heavyweight. He should earn his shot.

    I think he should fight whoever is closest rank to him in WBO, and then prove he's actually the best in the WBO rankings.

    Im not sure if that WBO rule can block unification fights. Ive only seen guys move up for WBO title fights only. Joshua might be able to get an exception for Fury. If not Fury , he will have to fight Usyk or get stripped.

    Why all this talk about Parker fighting Usyk?

    Dubois is ranked higher with the WBO than Parker.

    More likely Usyk would have to fight the winner of Dubois / Joyce if the WBO becomes vacant.

    So don’t give a **** about your family an long term future think of the fans ? Fighters would get absolutely nowhere with that mindset. It’s business

    What I'm saying is Usyk's family has nothing to do with this. How is Usyk fighting for his family? They're not exactly starving, are they?

    And this isn't a regular scenario, this is a potentially once in a lifestyle situation. We may never get this sort of chance again in boxing.

    Fury vs Joshua has to happen ASAP or else it risks not happening at all or happening when it matters less.

    This could be the biggest event in boxing history for a long time now, and certainly in PPV history.

    It;s not just for the fans, it's for all of boxing. If Usyk is that good, he'll get his shot eventually, and like I said, hopefully Joshua/Fury can persuade him to fight the winner of their 2 fights. This way he'll have a chance at being undisputed himself.

    I cannot think of a single better reason for Joshua to skip Usyk. People are making it out like AJ is scared or not honourable, but he's doing it to make a much more important fight happen!

    Good fighters want the best fights.

    WBO will most certainly strip AJ in my view.

    Usyk - Parker is a great fight for that title

    That will be very interesting. I see Parker catching Usyk at some point. Both great boxers.

    If Usyk dominates Parker it will send a massive message.

    I don't understand people who are that confident in Usyk yet. Let him fight someone at this level first guys!

    Some of you may look very foolish if you make a big deal of him too soon.

    I would prefer the AJ/FURY fight was undisputed, but if not, then Usyk vs Parker for the WBO would be interesting.

    Imagine Usyk v Parker just before AJ/Fury? (Boner intensifies).

    I just love how the above conversation totally overlooks Chisora
    Of course we all can have an opinion about what might happen in that fight but Usyk needs to take care of that business first

    Agreed. I think Usyk will probably win, but Usyk still has it all to prove.

    Usyk needs to win comfortably to back up the claims others are making about him imo.
