Anyone but Wilder please. I rather he fight Chisora again as much as I hate that fight.

This would be very disappointing. But It’s easy to see the marketing angle. Wilder is a name casuals remember. Show a highlight reel of Wilder knockouts from 7-8 years ago and dupe casuals into believing it’s a contest. Casuals probably aren’t much aware of how far down he’s come and of his losses to Parker and Zhang. A business decision but an extremely crap one for fans. I’m all for a gimme now and then by an active champ. Usyk is now in the 1 fight every 9-10 months phase so a gimme wastes most of the year and puts division in a holding pattern.

Wilder is so shot that the paramedics already pronounced him DOA.

Can't pull the trigger and couldn't box well to begin with so there is zero point in this fight.

I can work with that. It should be a soft touch for Usyk.
