Will Usyk Fight Again This Year

[SouthpawRight]

December slot is wide open and minimal punishment from Dubois 2

[Boxing 112]

I would not be surprised if he vacates a few belts and doesn't fight again this year

Probably sometime early next year or whatever Turki decides. Most probably takes 3-4 months off and then needs 3 months to train, so we are probably looking at 7-8 months.

If Turki is not willing to pay him a good money for Parker fight, he may just retire.

There are not many good fighters to fight.

I have a feeling that if Moses beats Dillian convincingly (which I doubt, as I won't be surprised if Dillian wins this), then it's Moses vs. Usyk next. Alternatively, Moses fights Parker for the title, and Usyk takes a relatively lesser fight (Wilder, some MMA guy, etc.) in the interim, with a promise of a high-paying Usyk vs Itauma farewell fight.

With Joshua, Fury, and Wilder now finished goods and nobody else being a 'big name', they will probably try to build Moses into a name and the next champion, so that they continue to have lucrative fights in the future.

I think Itauma should be moved slower. Usyk should fight Kabayel, it not Parker.

He only wants AJ, Fury now. Just wants the $s and who could blame him?

Turki wants Itauma next, and would be willing to pay big bucks I'm sure.

So really, only really see those 3 as options.


MAYBE Opetaia or Bivol or someone like that if they unify Cruiserweight.

But it's got to be all about the cash now.

Bivol a small light heavy cruiser would be his upper bound

Parker good pure box and can build on Tony Bellew’s successful tactics

the German is plodder and would get owned

Why Turki against Parker fight again
