Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk vs. Daniel Dubois in Talks: London and Manchester Are Options

[super-x]

No one can blame usyk, he has literally zero choice but to fight his mandatories in the order rotation... if it was down to him, i strongly think he would have picked wilder, much to everyones delight. Ah well. We can sit n dream for now.

When a fighter wants to fights they move on quickly. Not all the postering that we have seen lately by Fury.

When a fighter wants fights they don't make ridiculous demands like 70/30 if they rematch. He got 25/75 in the first fight and 50/50 in the rematch vs Joshua but tried to demand 50/50 and is now demanding 70/30 in his favor if they have a rematch. Ridiculous.

Usyk would have picked Wilder. Problem is, Wilder wouldn't have picked Usyk. Wilder only came out and said what he did because he knows Usyk has mandatories. If he hadn't, Wilder would have kept silent. Wilder doesn't even want any top boxers. He wants MMA fighters where he knows they have no place there. Even Ruiz is seen as too much of a threat to him. It's why he ran when the WBC wanted to find a mandatory with the winner.

Usyk shouldn’t have any problems here
DDD is one dimensional , he has power
But that won’t be enough to get the champ out
Can see Usyk beating on him in the late rounds at-will

So he should forever more be condemned to getting a tiny share of the split because he accepted skewed terms to face Joshua?

The whole point of his 70/30 rematch offer was that it was what Fury had set as a precedent for the putative first first. If Fury wanted 70/30 to bring his one belt to the table in return for Usyk's 3, then it doesn't seem a ridiculous demand for Usyk to get 70/30 in his favour in the event of a rematch where he would be the undisputed four-belt champion and Fury would be a no-belt challenger coming off a loss.

Usyk has only ever looked good at the weight beating Joshua , imagine if Danny gives him a hiding.... this fight looks pretty grim really , since Danny nearly got sparked by an unknown cruiser.... This fight for Uysk will be for pennies not pounds !

Dream on hole sucker, Danny boy is getting ironed out, then the man hunt for the missing Gypsy tart continues, he will probably change his identity at this rate, funny how there has been radio silence on social media again, another mental health issue incoming.

Ddd should be taken out early, usyk won't waste his occasions as Larena did

[Zelda]

Frank better pay Usyk well or the fight goes to purse bids...

LOL

Usyk is the champion...let him and his promoter give Dubois an offer first. Only if they cannot give a decent offer does it go to Frank or a purse bid.

Wonder if fisheyes will suddenly think the mandatory split for mandatory challengers is too little for Dubois.

[Bronx2245]

Pay DuBois the step-aside, and fight Deontay Wilder!
