Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk seeks extension as deadline looms for ordered Joseph Parker fight

[ShoulderRoll]

Usyk has been cleaning out the top of the heavyweight division with tough fight after tough fight. If he needs time to heal up then it is more than fair to give it to him.

The unified champion shouldn’t be doing all the work. Parker and Kabayel ought to be fighting each other to create only one true #1 contender.

Every time this stuff comes up I just can't help but think how Jermall Charlo was able to hold the WBC middleweight strap hostage for 3 years without a middleweight fight..

Usyk really has no one left to fight except for Kabayel. Parker is too slow & doesn't throw in combinations to bother Usyk. I'm not sure Kabayel tests him much either. I think ultimately he'll vacate all the belts. Parker & Kabayel will be upgraded. The Pulev-Hunter winner will face interim champ Wardley. Chisora is in the mandatory IBF #2 spot, thanks to beating Joe Joyce in an eliminator. Efe Ijagba & Frank Sanchez are supposed to rematch for the #1 spot. So, the winner will get Chisora for the IBF belt. If Moses Itauma beats Dillian Whyte today, he solidifies his #1 ranking with the WBO to challenge Joseph Parker.
