      I'd say win or lose Usyk's next move is retirement.

      If AJ keeps his present Ben Davison form for another fight or 2 a trilogy might be the only fight with big appeal despite Usyk being up 2-0.

        Nobody. He will retire undefeated. Usyk is almost 37. His career is pretty much over.

        No way he fights all these high risk low reward guys.

            Can Ruiz even beat Miller?

              Counting him out because he is 37 is a bit of a poor judgement. Many boxers did great until 39-40 even.

              He will probably retire but if he has to face someone else there are many reasonable options which only proves he didn't face enough at heavyweight. I'd like to see him against Sanchez, Hrgovic, possibly Parker and Opetaia but he isn't aiming at the heavyweight now. I would add Wilder but only if Wilder shows something of old against Zhang. And I don't include Zhang in the list because if Parker was able to move around him so well then Usyk will do it as well.

                If he wants to be greater than holyfield, then maybe fight a few more.
                But parker, Zhang is good

                  Id love to see if Andy Lee can get Parker to beat Usyk but sadly i think Fury is the end of the road.

                  Slava Ukraini and all that.

                    I imagine he would retire, he'd have made astronomical wealth from his 2 fights with Fury, he will be 38 pushing 39, the fact he still has his 0 means retirement will be more tempting than for someone like Lomachenko who doesn't really have to worry about losing now.

                    Usyk isn't ******, at heavyweight he knows all it takes is one miss-step and you get cleaned out, why would he risk it?
