    He needs to prove it.

    As far as I know Usyk is the best heavyweight in the world.

      There is no real reason for Usyk/Itauma to happen. There is 20 years between them. Too many asterisks will be available for it to feel truly meaningful.

      I think Usyk has one foot out the door. Will he even fight someone like Kabayel and work through the mandatories? Usyk vs Okolie, woof. I feel he could retire any time.

      You can see why he wants Wilder.

        Usyk has earned the right to fight who he likes - but give up the belts! if that's what you are going to do! Don't become another Canelo or Mayweather (who tied up the 154 belts he held without defending them) - of course, in the end the belt orgs are ultimately responsible for keeping the conveyor belt moving and a string of mandatories against fighters with no fame means their 3% cut is only a fraction of what fights between 'names' generates - promoters also make more with fights between names - so promoters and belt orgs work hand in hand to slow everything down.
        Usky - Kabayel has to be next but it needs to happen in timely order - no more than 3 months after the Giza rubbish. Don't want to hear about an Usyk injury afterwards - if thats the case then make him champ in recess

          Usyk - Okolie ? I have no interest whatsoever at this point - lets have Okolie make a name for himself at HW first

            I am tired of that sh.it "he is the best, but we will move him slowly".

            I don`t want to hear a word about Itauma knocking anybody top 10 out so far. If they think the kid is a real deal, let him prove it.

              Please, all this commotion for knocking out an overweight Franklin. Maybe start fighting and beating the winner of Wardley vs Dubois, it would be an all british title fight and a huge improvement in terms of opponent quality, then you can talk about Usik (or even Kabayel, to be fair).
