Alex Krassyuk (Usyk's former promoter) : I only gave Usyk 3 rounds, Rico won 7!

No there will be no retiring now for Usyk. If he runs from the rico rematch and Kabayel he will be laughed into retirement. He chose to be greedy belly, now he will pay the price. Yes, that is the risk he took, and I agree it would be fair to give Rico a rematch. Basically, I see two path: - Give up belts, rematch Rico, retire - Fight Agit, rematch Rico, retire Although, still nothing wrong (and probably the best route) is just to retire. Rico did extremely well, but at the end he got KOd. Lennox never gave Vitali a rematch and Vitali was much more deserving. He took a year to decide and decided to retire. People complained, but they forgot. Same will be for Usyk. And yes, I agree, he did this one for money. The price you mention he will pay ironically, could be he now makes even more money. Rico rematch will be much bigger if it happens, so it might work well for him after all. But again, what’s the point. We already know he will beat Rico in the rematch..

Really like this man. Usyk should take his advice and retire. Legs seem not to be there anymore. He can still beat pretty much anyone even without them, but it is getting punishing having huge guys compered to him. On the scorecards, a bit too wide for me, but yes I had it Rico 96:94 going into the 11th - not that it mattered at the end, Rico would get stopped (as he did) under any scenario.
