Comments Thread For: Usyk Wants To Fight Wilder, Plans To Be Ringside For Wilder-Helenius

[brettWall]

Nothing complicated about making this fight, Usyk vs Wilder. I see no reason why PBC would object to it. Could be made in 2 seconds if you let Ellerbe handle it.

If he going be ringside then wilder vs Usyk is next depending contingent on wilder winning

It's too bad AJ couldn't beat Fury. Imagine that road map. Usyk lets Fury and AJ fight each other (granted Fury wants AJ fight). AJ wins and captures the belt. Usyk is like, hey AJ, why not that 3rd fight? Lol. Now he's got every belt and all through the same opponent.

I would worry for Usyk even against Wilder. I know Wilder's technical ability is trash but let's be real, he lost to a huge man in Tyson Fury who CAN box. Usyk's power at heavyweight is probably stinging at best and requires a decent accumulation to break his opponent down. Every opening for throwing that he leaves against Wilder can be costly if Wilder can sneak in one of his bombs. Wilder will also probably not respect Usyk too much when the size comparison in relation to Fury are complete opposites. It just might be a bad matchup for Usyk.

Now Wilder beats Usyk and claims all the belts except Fury's belt. AJ Beats Fury by some crazy miracle that is impossible and we can once again see what we've all been waiting for except opposite. This time Wilder has the 3 belts and AJ has the 1, lol.

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

PBC does a lot of in-house fights. I say if the deal gets done, it gets done. I am expressing the pattern that we have seen.

Usyk was disrespectful and arrogant in the way he declined a December fight with Fury. Though he beat Joshua, Joshua beat the living crap out of him. He is skilled enough to fight these giants, but being durable enough is another story. Him fighting Wilder is only his response to the unexpected curveball Fury threw at everyone. Now he is in a spitting contest with Fury, but I think he knows he messed up a bit, though maybe that gives him some insight into just how unpredictable Fury is- In or out of the ring! Wilder hits harder than AJ and he knocked down the only man to beat him four time and Fury is elusive as hell. Win or lose, Usyk would be down in a fight with Wilder and probably more than once. And he won’t be able to absorb it nearly as well as Fury. Usyk shot his mouth off after beating Joshua, and then attempted to have Fury kiss his ring. How would that not piss off a Gypsy King?

Should be no problem whatsoever to make it happen since there is no network clash. Mr “American takeover” doesn’t have any rights to Usyk anymore

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 hear you but fighting an awkward fighter with massive power who lacks fundamentals might actually be trickier for Usyk than fighting one with slightly less power who is more traditional (almost robotic) with "adequate" to solid fundamentals.

I always hear about ONLY PBC doing in house fights but TR GBP and Dazn never get any heat. Could someone pls enlighten me how many fighters has Dazn and Gbp sent over to Pbc? I recall haymon sending victor posted and Shawn porter over to TR for fights and even allowed Moe Hooker to go get knocked out on Dazn by Virgil Ortiz but for the life of me I can't recall when ut was reciprocated. Someone pls help!
