Usyk Decision.

These rematch clauses need to go. Just hold up divisions

They put it in the Middle East so Joshua can be juiced to the gills.

God it just keeps on getting pushed and pushed. Joshua only fights once or twice a year as it is….this is ridiculous!

[Oldskoolg]

Usyk is going to be HIGHLY motivated and will want to make a statement in support of his country. For that night at least, Joshua may have to take one hell of an ass whippin as a stand in Russian…

I hope Usyk kicks Joshua’s ass now. I didn’t care who won before but now I want Hearn out of the picture. If Joshua wins no way unification will happen until summer of 2023 if it even happens at all. Usyk wins Hearn is totally out of the HW picture for awhile. Then Usyk/Fury will get made. I just don’t have confidence in Hearn’s ability to get the big fights done anymore. He reminds me of my Oilers old GM. Pissed off almost every other GM in the NHL so he struggled to get meaningful trades that could help the team because nobody wanted to deal with him.

Yes, very likely. It will be interesting to see what, if any, random testing will be done, when it starts, and who will doing it.

Hearn still promotes Usyk too, so Hearn will still be in the heavyweight picture regardless of who wins.

Entire sporting world outside of Russia and United Kingdom will be with Usyk. That’s pretty heavy. No disrespect to Joshua but it’s not about him
