    Comments Thread For: Five reasons why Usyk-Itauma should happen next, and five reasons why it shouldn?t

    Is talk of Moses Itauma fighting Oleksandr Usyk next a sign of Itauma's talent, a sign of Usyk's dominance, or a sign of our collective impatience? asks Elliot Worsell

    Realistically it should be Parker next. Question....... if Usyk does chose to fight Itauma next which belts would be on the line? Any or do they all have their own mandatories? IBF I guess

        Shouldn't happen next because itauma is in a queue system. But it should happen before usyk retires

          100% correct.

          As for my 2 cents on the article, only one reason matters to me.. look at the top 10 HW rankings. An untested Itauma is already abetter than most of the fighters on that list. Most are on their 2nd or 3rd life. Not much left if we exclude Agit K.

            In fairness Itauma Dosent deserve a shot at Usyk . Unfortunately that’s the W.B.O doing . If Itauma team wants to cash In Early then go for it . Just make sure they take note’s & learn from it for future references. Because Usyk is the ultimate Teacher .

              The only reason it should happen is because of timing.

              Usyk will be done in a year or two, if he doesn't fight Itauma and Itauma goes on to dominate the division it will leave a permanently unanswered question.

              Parker "deserves" his shot but there's no mystery as to how that fight goes, just give Parker an email belt to shut him up and let's have Usyk vs Kabayel and Itauma for his last 2.

                I was gonna refute your assertion with logic and reason but, 'what a load of horseshït' pretty much says it all.

                  No in fairness he is right.

                  Parker really is just quite crap, no one that’s not an inbred Samoan wants to see that fight if we’re being honest.

                  That guys plan is the better route. Give Parker an email belt, he’ll just lose it the first time he fights someone decent anyway like he did last time had a had a belt when AJ schooled him.

                    Usyk seems ti take some rest.

                    Itauma can fight Hrgovic or Parker now.
