Comments Thread For: Usyk Promoter on Joshua Step Aside: 'From a Business Side, Why Not?'

[VislorTurlough]

We all want this to happen. #1 vs #2 next. And of course it won’t. Though one more L each to Joshua and PEDillian and they are severely diminished. There’s a calculus that says milk the step asides as long as they get legal guarantees of being next for unified belt

Just more evidence the 15 million offer A.J accepted was fake news not even team Usyk involved in this offer ?


Reading this get I get A.J will be presented an offer from Saudi one I think he can only take if it’s tremendous amount coupled with Whyte as well since he’s also a mandatory for Fury . Like Usyks manager states it’s unlikely ,and I get the feeling they want A.J because it’s more money for them and if they win they get undisputed anyway so like A.J the next fight that benefits them is the rematch .

Safe to say the opposite to everything you’ve said will likely happen.

you Heard it from Redeemer first guys. Lol.

Joshua was so well beaten he should look at it as everyone except his deluded self does .........this route may be his only way through to fight for the undisputed titles and he pockets £15m and more time to prepare the 'work in progress' !

[Scopedog]

He'd be making a lot of money either way but I know Usyk is eager to be undisputed and this would accelerate that. If he fights Fury and somehow wins there'll be serious conversations about where he belongs in the pecking order of all-time greats

I'm guessing that dropping the WBC belt would be part of any deal. Would Whyte rather take a fight with better odds but less pay?

I don't see it happening either. We struggle to get fights that are straightforward and obvious, never mind fights with so many parties to line up.

And it also depends on accepting a promise from a Gypsy who spends more time in legal settings than boxing rings.

But the whole point is for undisputed. If your meaning after Usyk, Fury, then Joshua won't agree as he's gonna want to fight for that also. So I just don't see any realistic way any of this happens. I'm thinking Joshua is happy to mess about here, as he was messed about last year.

Can't see PEDillian Whyte stepping aside from BOARsn Fury.

[REDEEMER]

Not sure why people seriously think this can happen. Firstly, I can't see Joshua even wanting to, as he wants his shot. Secondly, it'd only happen if he was gauranteed the winner. And thirdly, if he was, then that means that Whyte will have to step aside, and he won't get a shot until 23 at the earliest. So no chance of that happening lol. It's Usyk,Joshua and Fury, Whyte. People should just accept it.

A.J won’t step aside unless the offer is closer to 50 million not 15 . It’s still a big if and Whyte having to also be compensated for how much dies he get offered ? The arbitration ruling hopefully comes to an end and we get to see if Fury fights or flights anyway if it is that ?

Too much red tape. It's never gonna happen.

If he refuses the step aside...it means he's betting on himself to beat Usyk twice, then take on Fury for undisputed and probably over $100m for two fights AND recognition as the eras top heavyweight.

If he takes the step aside - he's kind of irrelevant while Usyk & Fury fight at least twice to decide the alpha. And he risks getting upset by a lesser fighter while he's sitting on the loot.

All money aint good money - fighters fight. Hope he refuses the handout and at least tries to take his status back by force...and not let himself or his spot be bought. He's already rich anyway.

No step aside offer is going to include any multi fight deals between Usyk and Fury that’s a deal breaker .

A.J would be guaranteed the winner which actually leaves Whyte out unless some bizarre circumstances happens where Whyte fights A.J where any step asides are taking place which requires two guys ,Whyte and A.J themselves .

[Tecnoworld]

Best scenario for me: usyk beats aj again, fury retires whyte and hearn gets 2 loosers in his garage.
