This is just a name to add so Usyk can say he beat all the top heavyweights in Fury, AJ, Dubois and now Wilder. Not much else for him to do other than retire. It's an easy payday and puts a stamp on his legacy. Shame Parker screwed up.

2026 Deontay is washed

it'd be like Floyd going after Antogi post ass whooping from SHANE

Wilder destroys Usyk, then we see the fight we really want to see, Wilder vs Chisora. Nash out - His Majesty

Usyk can still fight Parker after an assumed win vs Wilder, if he wants.

Ovb PBC is going to promote the fight, Prime PPV although Netflix could make a play for the fight, for sure, either way Usyk is getting paid, with upside, as will Wilder. Deontae as the last hope for American heavyweights will be a huge draw for this fight, it will be packed. Not saying he will win, in fact odds are he doesn't, but it will be the biggest domestic fight since Canelo/Crawford, it will be much bigger than Shakur/Lopez. If Wilder wins, by KO, he is set for life, he is the biggest American boxing star since Floyd, and most importantly, the division opens up, and the new generation can march in.

I have no problem with Usyk taking it to the U.S.A . My problem is taking the Alvarez Route . Wilder is damaged goods . Anderson is no threat at all . Although Torrez jr would be interesting . Torrez jr is a good replacement for Wardley and Itauma . Wilder is like Benavidez to Alvarez it’s a Duck from Kabayel .

maybe in oregon,with all the ducks

I think it has to be about name value. Oleksandr doesn't have to duck anyone, only old age will beat him at heavyweight, if he doesn't retire first. Also, how many people know the name Agit Kabayel, apart from the hardcore? I think it's time to moan about the heavyweights that aren't doing anything to bring in casual interest, or any interest at all. They've got abilities and promoters, they should show us what they've got. Torrez has asked for a fight with Itauma, Moses seems to be ducking or otherwise the fight should have been made by now (Torrez offered to take the fight in the UK). It's up to fighters to step up to Usyk, not for Oleksandr to step down. I'm not criticising Wardley, as Fabio seems willing to take on all comers. If it wasn't for the recreational drugs test putting the brakes on, I think people would queue up for a rematch with Joe Parker.

In boxing you NEVER award fighters fantasy wins because you assume they would beat everyone.

Tyson lost, Jones lost, Ali lost, it happens, it ESPECIALLY happens if you are an active champion which Usyk has not been at heavyweight.

It is less likely to happen if you fight once per year against the same 3 opponents for FIVE ****ING YEARS
