So Usyk`s next fights are known, more or less

[JakeTheBoxer]

1. Dubois
2. Hrgovic
3. Zhang - Joyce rematch winner

If he beats all these guys, than Wilder fight makes sense, because Wilder is a well known name still.

Dubois.


Then the next fight after will be Fury in Saudi 2024.

Why boring? Wilder must beat somebody first to deserve a shot.

Why boring? Wilder must beat somebody first to deserve a shot.

That's the #10, and #4/7 Ring rated contenders between Hrgovic, Zhang, and Joyce. Dubois is the BoxRec #6.

And they're the respective mandatories. Meanwhile Fury is fighting Ngannou, who isn't ranked. I hope Ngannou manages to chin him while he's showboating, and piss all over his "I'm the A-side" nonsense. Highly improbable, but hey, everyone has doubted every move of Ngannou's for years and he's gotten everything he wanted.

If Usyk clears all of those mandatories, that's a solid heavyweight resume.

? He almost killed Helenius.

Dubois vs Uysk is already a bigger event than many of Fury's hardcore fans 'Anticipated and hoped for'.

The fight is in a outdoor arena, with a capacity of 45'000 +, the promotion also so far has been top level.

I personally though both press conferences, especially the London press conference was really interesting.

The fact that the fight is being staged in a European mainland country also for me, makes it a unique event.

Note: Usyk is proving vs Dubois, that he can stage big boxing events without the aid of Fury and Joshua etc.

So would any top 10 heavyweight.

Not like D did though

? He almost killed Helenius.

Eh. I think Helenius got hit and decided to stay down. He watches the ref to know when to get up. Not that Wilder wouldn't have beaten him but he hit Helenius with a shot that had almost no momentum. It didn't look like his usual right hand. He was punching up and moving back. That does not usually translate to a devastating punch. Outside of a lucky shot, Usyk beats him every round.
