According to a Ukrainian source Usyk will fight on the Hopkins undercard.
He will fight M.Masternak 37-4

Looks like an easy defense of the title to expose him to US audience.
Not sure why he's getting crapped on for this fight. I haven't seen his opponent yet, but he looks high ranking, experienced, in his prime, and has been in a couple of tough fights already - losing to Drozd late and losing a close decision to Bellew.
This aint no Salka or Brand. And Usyk just fought a world champ last month. There's NOTHING to complain about here.
Actually not that long ago Masternek was an undefeated contender (promoted by Sauerland) who was being billed as a future champ but it all came crashing down with Drozd loss, now he's something like a gate keeper opponent type. But it's amazing how things change with time.

I agree. Not a fan of Bellew at all and was hoping the African dude would crush him like an aluminum can but that went the opposite way.
The Masternak fight was kinda ass man. I remember, I watched it live. Tony on a little streak right now, would like to see Usyk put an end to that.
yeah i bet on the african fella as well, tony got an impressive comeback ko there so credit where it's due... but i still believe he is the most overrated british champion at the moment, he really is extremely bad.
Bellew never beat the schit outta masternek lol.
It was a very close fight that could of been given to either man.
and secondly usyk would never in a million years win ' a close ud'. i guarantee he will win every single round, if not stop masternek.
If bellew was 10000/1 to beat usyk i would not even put a penny on it :lol1:

Why would I be the idiot if im asking that guy if he thinks Bellew beats Usyk, based on his comment about Bellew beating the **** out of Mateus vs Usyk winning a close UD.
Reading comprehension + not jumping to conclusions man.

**** fight against someone who Tony Bellew absolutely battered around the ring for twelve rounds, winning a close unanimous decision in the process.
That's not how I remember the fight. I remember Masternak giving Bellew all he could handle.
I think K2 is looking for him to get a KO in front of an American audience and to keep him busy.
Can't really fault him for this fight...stay busy plus some exposure.
But the next one will have to be a proper opponent.

Do you think Bellew beats Usyk?
Soft touch.. the other cruisers are signed to fight someone else so I'd rather see a rematch with Glowacki..LOL usyk easily schooled glowacki.no rematch is needed.
