    Kabayel has been very vocal about calling out Usyk.
    Despite this, Usyk always avoids saying his name. And most recently, his intvw, he flat out avoided Kabayel in his last 3 fights.

      Why was Kabayel not busy going after it like Wardley is doing at the moment ?

        Look at it this way.

        If Kabayel and Itauma go on to have great careers and Opetaia moves up and also joins them, Usyks reign as undisputed will look like a bit of a joke if he doesn't fight those three.

        Of his three last named fights, only Wardley is acceptable.

        God forbid Dubois beats Wardley because Verhoven, Dubois 3 and fury 3 would be a pathetic final run.

          The moment Surov gets mentioned all these up and comers go quiet really fast, why is that ? Itauma already passed up on Torrez Jr and Bakole so how does he have a path to the title ? Kayabel the same, they all have weak runs except Wardley.

            First Joe Joyce was the boogey man and got taken over by Zhang who lost to Parker who lost to Wardley, that makes Wardley from the contenders the 'lineal' challenger assuming a win against Dubois. Kabayel has not been on that same trail and if both Fury and Kabayel don't want to fight eachother that is simply not Usyk's problem since Kabayel does not have that signature win, like Wardley, that warrants a fight.

              Straight from the horses mouth: Kabayel does not want a title shot going through the front door like everyone else.

                    Reaffirming that Usyk only cares about the money, and not about fighting the best.

                    As I said, he can fight whoever he pleases but that's not the definition of a top P4P fighter.

                      3 wins over fury historically is good. I mean if Fury fought ALI 3 times people might think Fury beats Ali once
