Sounds like a guy willing to step aside to me. Again no qualms with him for being anxious about a date and venue being announced, but explain to me how Terence Crawford moved up from being undisputed at 140, and got his WBO shot straight away at 147. Meanwhile,, Usyk hasn't fought at Cruiser since 2018, and still hasn't gotten his shot?

Usyk didn’t immediately wave his right to fight A.J , in fact he wanted Chisora before A.J .

The WBO ordered the Joyce fight ,the links you posted would have little to do with Undisputed involvement , it doesn’t matter if Usyk is willing or not to step aside at this point the WBO is not making Joshua fight him , Usyk balked on fighting A.J and had injuries which postponed the Chisora fight ,it’s not hard to figs out why he hasn’t fought a.J next .

Again your first sentence proves my point. The undisputed champion moving up to a new weight class, has the option of fighting the champion at the new weight immediately according to the WBO. So Usyk wanted Chisora before AJ, or he took some kind of deal with Eddie Hearn, to let Matchroom conduct business in the promise of an Aj fight down the road is irrelevant.

Usyk chose this route, he can't now blame the WBO...it's in their rulebook for goodness sakes. Taking step aside deals, or choosing to fight other guys, when it's his right for a straightaway fight is his own choosing, and is also why he's crying now.

its shameful what the wbo is doing give the man his title shot everyone knows team fury has their own internal affairs he has to handle before fighting aj

Fury has what internal affairs ? Wilder is not fighting Fury ,he’s been offered a Martin fight he priced himself most of ,he’s also negotiating with Dinu Bogdan among others ,Fury is fighting A.J . The more Wilder stalls his career the least likely he returns ,at least in proper form to win against a top opponent .

The contract he signed with Wilder is Fury's internal affair. The contract that calls for mediation to resolve any differences, and if that does not work, binding arbitration.

If Wilder wins arbitration, Fury may decide to keep his money and honor the Wilder rematch. Or retire. Again.

That's what Usyk is waiting for: the arbitrator's decision, which can take up to 6 months. Maybe longer...

You proved your point. Usyk had been adament about not stepping aside. That was a fact. He clearly changed that Point of View. Well done.

Usyk should get the WBO to get in on the dog-mess Bridgerweight division. He's get an immediate title shot against a Travis Kauffman and be a two weight champion. No brainer.

The Bridgerweight division is something only the WBC has.

No one talked about "immediately." The issue was whether, or not Usyk had changed his tune.

Usyk wanting Chisora? He needed some tune up, some indication for fighting up a class, people forget that he had a tough fight with Bellew... Makes sense he would need to test the waters, regardless of what he "wanted."

How do you, or anyone, know what happened between Usyk and any sanctioning body? What compensation was given? And where does it say USyk Balked at fighting AJ? I never heard such a thing, Do you have a link? Is there some indication of Usyk getting compensation, being denied compensation, etc?

I am genuinely curious please enlighten me.

The poster you quoted said absolutely nothing about Wilder. But you had to bring him into it, didn't you?

You seem obsessed with Deontay.

For now anyway.
