    You mean the fight you claimed that Jimmy Young won?

It's doubtful he's motivated to fight Wardley, Itauma, Parker, Kabayel, Sanchez, who bring little value to the table. It really is the perfect time to ride off into the sunset. Itauma is the most interesting challnege but Usyk already made it clear he is not interested.
      nice sell to the jeet facing Biblical Moses

      EXCEPT USYK HIMSELF said he wants to fight until 41

        Unless he really needs, or wants, the $$$ and someone is prepared to stump up the fight purse he asks for. Usyk should retire as undisputed, undefeated and healthy. He seems like a smart guy.

          I want to see the fight. Hopefully Usyk makes a decision soon.

            Being undisputed is an illusion. It comes with MUCH demand and expensive caretaking for the cat holding the plastic. Being World heavyweight champion is not BUT the undisputed garbage has mired the waters. Usyk has proven himself and IMO, he'd be best served to drop the plastic and ride off into the sunset IF defending against the deserving, albeit, non-descript, doesn't bring in enough money. I think if anything, Wardley should be frosted-out like Parker was. And if we are gonna shun Wardley, lets go all the way with it and freeze out Kayabel too. Then maybe they got to face each other for the sake of staying active, if not to enhance their names. Let Butterball put it together and then he can aim Itauma at the winner.

            For me, the ONLY thing that was proven with Wardley's win, aside from the fact he is a good contender with heart and power, is that "mandatory challenger" status is akin to being seen out on the town with Taylor Swift. There's nothing special about it and the alphabet bodies shank the fighter for his money but provide ZERO value for it. Zero.

              Some people felt Young won, boring close lackluster fight.

                If Usyk hadn't fired Krassyuk as his promoter, Krassyuk certainly wouldn't have said he should end his career

                  Irrelevant. You said Young beat him, when he didn't.

                  You know, the same version Norton beat, 3 years prior

                    undisputed is overstated

                    beating 2 great opponents and being unified trumps beating 4 okay opponents to become undisputed

                    who you beat how you beat and when you beat overshadows a belt collection!
