He is 34. His style involves a lot of movement all around the ring. He won`t be able to do this by the age 37 -38.
He is a great fighter, but he is a career cruiserweight.
I don`t see him fighting that dangerous guys coming , like Ajagba, Hrgovic, Sanchez, DDD..These guys are stronger than AJ and they can hurt him.
He should rematch AJ, beat him again, he has his number. Than he should fight Fury -Wilder winner. Joyce in Uk could be a good fight too.
Usyk must follow the money now. Don`t fight guys that are big risk low reward.
Even in the post-fight interview, Usyk said he wants to be with his wife, to grow apples, etc. I am not sure he wants to keep hanging in there fighting everyone. May be 2-3 big fights to earn the money and he would like to live a comfortable retired life.
Grow apples lmao wtf

Usyk is a late bloomer, he spent more years in amateur and won Olympic gold medal at the age of 25. He even mentioned the Olympic gold medal is a higher achievement than any professional belts. He already beat Joyce in WSB before he turned pro. I believe he has a good chance of beating Fury if he can cut the distance. Fury's style is awkward but Usyk is also difficult to hit by a guy with the size of Fury. If he can maintain 80% of his footwork in the next few years, maybe he can still be competitive for another 3-4 years. By that time current HW prospects Hrgovic or Yoka would already be 33 - 34 years old, and Joyce is even older than Usyk.
