His loss can go either way ; make him or break him

He’s still super young so a loss to someone like Usyk wouldn’t really kill his career it could actually give him experience. But at the same time, step up too early and it might dent his confidence. Depends how his team plays it.

Very smart move to make it clear he's ready for Usyk. Hopefully Turki gets to work and makes it happen because it really is the most fascinating hwt fight in a very long time. Fury has been shot since the first Wilder fight so his fight vs Usyk was a disappointment. Itauma and Usyk are both at a very high level right now, and they are the two best hwts on the planet. I don't think Usyk would duck Itauma but we still have not heard his reaction to Itand auma KO 1 Whyte and if it shook him. Usyk is human and that KO might have shook his own confidence. it was that scary.

FFS, Whyte was 37 years old and shot.

Fight Torrez, he wants it.

To much risk from what I’m reading

Fury and josh had better fight, otherwise it's going to be about who ducked it. Trust me, they don't want that
Usyk v itaum a would be great. Who's supposed to win doesn't always win. We know itaum a would take the match if offered but not sure if interests usyk.
I detest YouTube when they make out as if ddd and Moses are fighting

Torres isn't a risk at all, he leads with his chin and he's already been KTFO in the amateurs by Jalalov, he's a first round KO for Itauma let's be serious.

Maybe, but if Moses does indeed get iced by Torrez, his career takes a big(ger) hit. Ironically, a super fight with Usyk, who most likely would ice Moses, wouldn't present as much of a risk because if he loses to a champion, well, that's to be expected. Losing to a "chin first" fighter like Torrez is clearly the bigger risk.

This is a problem for boxing now, gotta protect that "0", especially when you are an up and comer. Unless you just go chase someone you are supposed to lose to, then it okay. Hearns vs Leonard I would never happen in today's climate. They would marinate until they were in their mid 30s, then the loss wouldnt hurt either of their legacy.
