    Hope this isn't true. They have a clip on there saying that he is going to play soccer.

    On one hand, I can't believe it, and it is only one clip. On the other, he is frustrated by his inability to get Fury, and if not Fury, what is left for him?

    Hope its just a rumor.

    Fake nonsense

    Usyk already said a year ago that he wants to fight Fury and then he will retire....which seems like the plan still. Dubious is a stay busy doddle.

    If they keep feeding him useless mandatories people can use as an excuse to demean his achievements, he might as well do that. Originally it was supposed to be a Fury fight and a retirement.

    So a rumour on a social media platform....yeah must be legit, lol.

    I watched a video earlier on Youtube saying windfarms were fake, if you take your information from social media you are literally a moron.

    There isnt much out there for Usyk of Fury continues to duck him. He did what he could and given his age and style he only has a few fights left.
    We need to wbc to strip Fury and maybe then we can have an undisouted fight but they wont do that so he might as well retire within a year.
    Bs source by the way.

    A 37 year old, muscled, clunky soccer player. No one would pay him as a soccer player.

    On the other hand, it's probably safer and smarter than getting heavyweight punishment from heavy handed monsters.

    Bro who in the hell ever heard of "AthleticFocus7492"? That isn't even primarily a boxing channel, and just a quick look through its video library shows that it's basically the Weekly World News of sports themed YouTube channels.

    Usyk has been an alternate for FC Polissya in the Ukrainian Premier League for like a year now, that isn't news. He might play a few actual pro matches (previously only friendlies), that doesn't mean he's quitting boxing.

    Recently he signed with some football team, but it is most probably just for the promotion, eventually play some 10 minutes on several occasions. But on his side, he never claimed he is stepping away from boxing because of that.

    And yes - one idiot YouTube account is not the entire platform or any trustworthy source.
