does not compute

usyk requested a voluntary defense says wbc head

something not making sense here

Maybe Wilder makes more money fighting Chisora in England for his 50th & final fight than he would fighting Usyk in the US?

If you don't believe this is the ultimate sign that FBBBBF (Fat beer belly british boxing fans) will buy just about anything, even when it's garbage wrapped in a garbage bag, well then... Nothing or nobody can help you.

When talking about Wilder, one must try to keep in mind that "making sense" should never be taken into consideration.

i just cant see how D Wilder would choose this fight over the top dude, my computation is that the top dude has just move on from D for some reason, D Wilder being given the opportunity to KO the guy at home and then choose this guy chisora i mean no i doont buy that at all, no way, this is usyk and his choices which changed for some reason im pretty surprised actually a wilder fight in the states for usyk makes good sense and $$ im sure as well

the german guy is basically the no1 contender the most dangerous guy on paper at the moment to usyk

Wilder couldn’t even sellout his home town when he was champion. He made all his big purses fighting Tyson Fury on PPV. Half the arena was UK folks flying over to see him. Usyk is not a star attraction & made his money when he fought Joshua & Fury twice. Chisora is a draw in England & probably still earns a good purse. Wilder is washed & Usyk isn’t a box office draw. I doubt anyone gives Wilder a chance of winning so why attend or buy on PPV?

usyk is not a draw. all his fights have been on the road or in a neutral setting like saudi arabia. wilder is not a draw either and we know that saudi money is not going to be there for him after he flopped twice in a row. chisora is a regional draw and bringing in a faded name like wilder will probably attract even more money. doesnt wilder have like 8 kids? hes gotta do what hes gotta do...wishing for that 100 million wont make it come back

yeah true

i just get the feeling that wilder v usyk in the states would do well since usyk is the top doggie on the block and wilder has name value = a good mix, struggling to see many wanting to see wiilder in the uk to be fair i think wilder would need to be in the states could be ttotally wrong of course i cant see wilder being much good either way based on his latest stuff so its all probably a bit of a damp squid

Maybe Wilder thinks he will get an easy KO of Dell boy and then the Usyk fight will still be there. Or maybe he's just plain stewpid. If I had to choose, i would go with the second option.
