Usyk would take Wilder to school.

Haymon won't do it b/c there's more money in the UK vs Joshua, esp if the first fight isn't what people think it's going to be. Usyk can be touched based on the fights I've and I highly doubt he has Fury's punch resistance. Ukraine dossier is the odd man out with all the belts. The division is lights years better with AJ the main man.

There's more money in the UK? Phuleeze! When it comes to top boxing events there will never be money money in the Uk than there is in the US. We pay 90 bucks for a top Ppv over here and you guys pay like 4 quid or whatever monetary system you got over there. When top UK fighters (Fury, Len-Ox, khan, Prince) are ready to step up to the big time and get paid they go west, Americans don't go east. If Haymon can get his hands on the 3 belts by way of Wilder knocking out Usyk he will jump at the chance. Then he will be able to do massive FOX Ppv events. Two Wilder v Usuk fights, Andy Ruiz, Frank Sanchez. Otto and maybe even AJ if Hearn allows him to fight off 'Dazn island'. Agh what am I talking about, not only will dazn be out of America, they're not even going to succeed in the Uk. Oh well, bomb squad promotions vs 258!

They are a few good match ups now that Fury/AJ is actually happening. I wanted Fury/Usyk for the HW supremacy but can't complain on the upcoming fights and possible fights. Usyk looks like he wants to fight the top guys, Fury looks like he will go for it and hopefully PBC lets Wilder fight outside their umbrella.

Why would Wilder have to go outside his umbrella to fight Usyk? Usyk is an unrestricted free agent and his manager would only have to work with Haymon. That would be 2 huge events

I don't think Usyk is salty but he wants to fight early next year as he said before but Fury probably wont be ready then because of the december fight. Wilder fight is dangerous but if Usyk wins that the Usyk-Fury fight could happen early next summer and that would decide the best HW of this era

I would be happy w Usyk V Wilder. That’s a great fight. Wilder is never in bad fights so to see him in another high stakes matchup works for me. Winners of these can get on schedule and face each other for all the marbles maybe.

I actually think Fury is a genius.

If he beats Joshua in better fashion than Usyk, or even blasts Joshua out of there, the he can say "hey look, this proves I'm better than Usyk. Usyk couldn't do what I did."

Also the numbers for an all british showdown like that will yield lots of ppv sales.

More than Usyk vs Joshua.

Fury will be able to secure A-side status when he fights Usyk after.

Usyk can be touched, but it's not that easy to hit him clean, as Joshua found out, who is a much better boxer technically than Wilder -- and Usyk will obviously sting back. The pace that Usyk maintains would be a real struggle for Wilder I think, seeing as how he seemed gassed to some degree by the pace of both the second and third Fury fights and Fury does not have that non-stop jackrabbit style of Usyk.

I agree mate. He wanted 6 months to heal and looking about family, friends, country. Fury decided to fight nov or December, usyk planned to be back after New Years. Let him pick an opponent and hopefully they both can be on same schedule for next fight. Obviously we want undisputed but tossing shade to usyk is a fan boy response

If he really wanted the fight as he claims it's the final/only fight he wants in boxing he should of took the fight got the belts then retired then he could have as much of a break as he liked, I thought Usyk was old school if AJ is willing to take it then Usyk should have been also. I'm a fan of Usyk but im a little disappointed in his decision.

[ShoulderRoll]

Usyk didn't want to fight Fury in December so Fury moved on to someone who will fight him in December.

Nothing wrong with that. Usyk can get it next year.

[1hourRun]

This would be an easy win for Usyk. I don't think the PBC will allow it.

I agree. Olksander won't need to beat multiple ten counts, or crook officials neither. 'Gypsy-Bum' will likely enforce his rematch clause when A.J sparks him anyway.

[jockpunk]

Its all posturing. Usyk knows he isn't fighting wilder just like fury knows he isn't fighting joshua.
