Shame to see Usyk shilling for the WBC, who created an 'interim' in his division unnecessarily. Who's the guy Kabayel is defending his bauble against again?

Usyk is shamelessly ducking two fights right now. Tyson Fury 3 and Tyson Fury 4. Nash out - His Majesty

The only problem I have with this article is "handing that WBO strap to Wardley and triggering suggestions that he was ducking the Englishman".

Does anyone really think Oleksandr is ducking Fabio? I'm not looking forward to Usyk fighting another British heavyweight and outwitting him, because it feels like an everyday occurrence already.

He keeps getting stripped. The wild thing is Wardley, if not mistaken is the WBO champion.

Moses Itauma would spark Wardley and become a champion. Usyk vs Itauma is loading, or at least am sure Turki would love that fight. It might be quite exciting.

Story on ESPN now about Usyk saying Wilder might be his next opponent. Would be disappointing to say the least.

Says the same thing on the bbc, with quotes. Oleksandr: "I continue fighting next year. I want to fight Deontay Wilder. I think it's interesting". Apparently told this to Media King Boxing. Do the mandatories get more chances of a dropped belt? And who is paying the prize money?

Usyk got the better of Tyson Fury twice and Fury beat the hell out of Deontay, with one dubious draw out of a trilogy. A lot of people think that was the end of Wilder's confidence.

It will sell in America. Get your money Uysk. Deontay needs the retirement check.
