The Reality is that Oleksandr Usyk has more work to do before he can join the Super Greats.

    O I thought they were Russian.

    I was trying to come up with some kind of Ali, feel good, story line for Usyk to be a peacemaker over there. Oh well...

    But uhh it looks like Usyk's going to miss out on the Jake Paul sweepstakes, he's fighting Tank.

      Usyk himself seems like a totally straight shooter and a completely honorable man, and he's employed a team of experts to sort the contracts and move him properly; and they've performed their job well, making him one of the highest paid athletes in any sport that you need arms to play.
      They've been brilliant in their adherence to the Floyd Mayweather playbook; knocking off other stars at the twilight of their skills, in their last couple of fights, and taking their titles. And if they want Moses Itauma next; it means they've read the WHOLE playbook, snagging a future star just before he gets a chance to fully develop, ala Mayweather - Canelo.

      Hey, it's their Job to navigate. That's what Usyk pays them for.
      His job is simply to keep being brilliant.
