It’s very disappointing. But now it’s up to Wardley and Fish Eyed Frank for a solid first defense. Don’t pull a Kabayel and face a nobody

is usyk really all that? i mean hes ducked a coke addict & a recruitment consultant, not a good look at all

I very much doubt Usyk is ducking Wardley but i do think Usyk needs to keep more busy i don't think his resume is going to age too well purely through the inactivity he has only fought 5 fighters at heavyweight overall with all the rematches. I think styles make fights and if he isn't willing to fight more of the top guys going forward then he should just retire because whats the point.

Some say he is an ATG. If he thinks so too, he has nothing more to prove. He just has to keep making the big bucks which he probably uses for philanthropic purposes back in Ukraine.

I think hes a great fighter and possibly an atg also not knocking his fighting ability i just don't think he has fought enough over his career to solidify him as a top 10 of all time or anything like that. Well thats the thing its money or credibility he's just stuck in a ****ty position due to his countries struggles. I just feel if you have nothing left to prove then just retire obv my opinion though as a boxing fan i would like to see him keep fighting the top 10 dudes.

Ducking wardley is hilarious. Kid fought a shell of whyte and a fat n slow Parker. He should fight a Kabayel or Sanchez 1st.

With Wardley his got that one punch which can pull him victory out of a losing fight. Huni totally out classed him and he walked onto a punch which saved Wardley an embarrassing fight, against Parker I do think it was a premature stoppage and the first Clarke fight I had Clarke winning and not a draw so his had a bit of luck. Wardley didn't dominated fights every time he steps up his outclassed and relies on his punch to rescue him there's are only so far his going to go as a Champ with that kind of luck.

Usyk ducking Wardley is comical. He's not worth Usyk's time. AJ will be fighting Wardley for the "world title" that Eddie keeps referencing. Assuming AJ can get past Wardley (questionable), he'll be facing Tyson Fury in September for the WBO world title in Wembley. Plainly obvious to me that this is the gameplan for AJ / Eddie.
