    Will Anthony Joshua have to honor the mandatory versus Oleksandr Usyk now?

    If so, this is the real banana skin as far as Undisputed goes! Usyk has the Boxing ability to stand AJ on his head. AJ does have a massive size and strength advantage though, and if Dereck Chidoza could ragdoll Usyk, imagine what AJ will be able to do... A very interesting fight nonetheless. A lot harder to call than Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder III.

    I think Fury vs Joshua may still happen before any other fight. They have come too far in negotiations now.

        I just don't see Usyk winning this one, a couple of years ago maybe but AJ is on HIGH ALERT now and he will take Usyk dead seriously.

        With Usyk's lack of pop and lack of size and physical strength AJ doesn't have to put on a masterclass he should be able to just "big man" Usyk out of the fight.

          There's noway AJ/Fury is not happening now. It will happen before they fight anyone else, regardless of the nonsense with Wilder.

          As for Usyk, he barely got past Chisora, AJ would KO him.

            Usyk has little to to no chance vs Joshua, he doesn’t have the power to hurt him and isn’t as elusive at heavyweight. He is there to be hit as well. The guy is a blown up cruiserweight who will be crushed imo

            joshua should get this fight made ASAP abs let fury sort his crap out rather than delaying his career for time wasters

              Honestly Usyk can win the fight but would he get the UD doe...Especially if that fight happens in the UK, with the knowledge of the Fury fight in the line.

                Wilder-Usyk or Fury-Usyk would be as for undisputed as Fury-Joshua

                  One of his easier fights. No punchers chance for Usyk, the jab and right hands will destroy him while trying to get inside. A mismatch.

                    Nope. Court has ruled Fury has Wilder problems
