    Usyk says he’s gonna fight 3 more years but excluding just Ituama is strange. He’s excluding a potential top 3 guy. In a year or so, he maybe number one.
    Itauma is the money maker, all roads will lead to Itauma. He is the biggest money fight out there right now for Usyk. To ignore that smells like a flagrant duck.

      Usyk is ducking Itauma. Usyk is 38 and intends to fight three more years but refuses to face Itauma in those three years. Turki will step in though and make it happen. Shocking that Usyk so fears Itauma already. That KO of Whyte was terrifying.
      It's probably a cash grab. Canelo swore at Turki and said he was never fighting on his shows and he didn't need him. As we saw that was all a negotiating posture.

      If Usyk gets a record purse offer he will throw down the gauntlet.

        Usyk does not need the money. He made it clear he will not fight Itauma in the next four years. He laid down the rules, no Itauma fight. This may classify as one of the worst ducks in history, along with Floyd/Margarito/Cotto/Pacquiao and Fury/AJ and Wilder/AJ.

        For Usyk, the goat, to so obscenely duck a 20 year old tells you obviously how great Itauma really must be.

          Not at all!

          It obviously tells us how little Usyk thinks of Itauma and how unworthy he is to challenge for his titles without having faced anyone of note.

          The only thing obscene is the amount of slobbering fangirls hyping YungMo.

            If usyk fights it aims next it's disrespectful to parker, ajit, and even fabio.
            I'm sure usyk will fight itauma if they both keep winning
