The contract is between K2 and Hearn not Usyk. It's a co promotion.
Contracts are signed are but will become valid on the night of the Bellew fight.
It looks like the length of the contract depends on the outcome for the Bellew fight.
Fights after would be at HW against Hearns stable of fighters . Chisora, Dillian, Parker and AJ.

A fan of who? Just commenting that Matchroom is a very good fit for Usyk.
Funny how the guy I called a Fanboy didn't care to address it .
Buy we got "Captain Save a Poster" here to the rescue I guess .
The truth is that, compared to to the numbers of viewers his fights will get elsewhere, the US numbers will be miniscule whoever screens them, until he moves up to HW and wins titles there, if he can manage to do it.
But I think that is going to be true of any non US / Mexican fighter in US. Pacquiao fought Americans. Would people tune in to see him fight a brit?
Also, don't forget that Usyk as WBO super champion at Cruiserweight can ask to be elevated to WBO mandatory to Joshua. And Joshua isn't going to let a belt go if he can help it.
That's a fact that many people are not taking into account. But Hearn is, which is why he wants to get himself a piece of Usyk before it happens.
Hearn's good at what he does. I give him that . But I seriously doubt Usyk ( or AJ ) would get as much or more U.S exposure fighting on DAZN than on the cable networks.

Joshua ( who hasn't had the best numbers in the U.S.) vs Usyk ( who isn't even known in the U.S ) the next SuperFight ?

Cable networks must die sooner or later, is it good time to fight on streaming service now? Before they actually took over (and they will)? I don't know, we will judge Usyk decision after next 5 fights I guess.
He builds a profile as HW and gets ranking?
Will become someone's mando eventually.
He wants to become a HW champion, I don't think he cares who he fights.
Who's that Someone he becomes Mando to ? There's only 2 champions . AJ and Wilder . Wilder fights for PBC and we all seen the difficulty in making AJ / Wilder . Although I admit he does have options at HW with Hearn . I doubt he's willing to wait more than a couple of fights for his shot at AJ.
What is he Practicing on the other Heavyweights for if he can't have AJ ?

Here is what everyone has to realize:
- He cleaned out the division, he is the absolute, undisputed champ who beat everyone of any significance in the division.
- There is literally nothing left to do at CW other than defenses in Ukraine for what a few hundred K purses? If that even.
- He has to move to HW.
- With Hearn he has a few bodies to make a HW name on to become a mando for AJ or Wilder or whoever the champ is when the time comes
He has a fairly intelligent promotion behind him, K2 is a Klitschko company and I think they know what they are signing.
Even if he doesnt fight AJ, the fact that he can have the other HWs to practice on is enough.

He will only be exclusively on DAZN in the US. He will get at least as much exposure there as he would get on any of the US cable networks, and possibly a lot more. Hearn is the best in the business at marketing fights and fighters.

Do you think fighting Exclusively on DAZN will bring him that much needed exposure ?

Post like that are the reason your called a fanboy .
Why?
Heavyweight boxing has been dead in USA and remains dead.
HW Superfights have been going down in Europe for over a decade. This would be no different.
Well can't be any worse than that idiot Higgins who was playing with his smartphone last time instead of watching Parker fighting.
Hearn and Higgins had a bit of a bromance and I'm wondering if they are co-promoting Parker.
I think that’s a good schedule for him and will get him a lot of exposure and money.
Bellew
Chisora
Whyte
Parker
Joshua
I think all but Joshua would be easy and I’d favor him over Joshua but good for him to actually build towards it with 3-4 Heavyweight fights first.
Is Parker with Hearn/Dazn now?
Interesting that if Uysk wins he's moving to HW. His people said a couple weeks ago that he wasn't planning on moving to HW so soon. Guess that stance changed.
I don't think he officially is, however if you listen to Hearn, he constantly mentions Parker and takam as potential fights suggesting his relationship is good enough that they could well easily show on sky sports/DAZN again - and potentially could end up contracted
Ahhh ... The old " sign with me and I promise you Joshua " tactic .
Hey it got him Ortiz .
He has a fairly intelligent promotion behind him, K2 is a Klitschko company and I think they know what they are signing.

Usyk v Joshua will be the next superfight. What has become very clear is that Joshua has other options outside of wilder.
