Comments Thread For: Usyk is Eager To Claim All Belts at World Boxing Super Series

The World Boxing Super Series is delighted to announce that the inaugural season of the Muhammad Ali Trophy will feature ALL four reigning cruiserweight champions. WBO titlist & Olympic gold medal winner Oleksandr Usyk (12-0, 10 KOs) has officially joined the revolutionary bracket-style elimination tournament that already features unbeaten champions Yunier Dorticos (WBA), Mairis Briedis (WBC) and Murat Gassiev (IBF) as well as former champions Marco Huck and Krzysztof Wlodarczyk, with two more spots to be filled. On July 8, all participants will come face-to-face at the Draft Gala in Monaco where they will hand-pick their quarter-final opponents.

This is shaping up very nicely!

Nice! my guess it's going to be either Usyk vs Gassiev in the final bout or Usyk vs Briedis

I believe its $50M not $80M. And I think thats the general plan that it'll be $25M for each division, but I think they stated that sometimes it could be that its not split 50/50 like that.

Based on the quality of guys in at 200 vs 168 I'd like to see the 200lb guys get a bigger cut this time for sure unless that 168 bracket starts looking a lot better.

Thanks. Not sure how many of the fighters have even fought for a $1,000,000 purse?. This really is a glamorous tournament.

I'll wait to see who joins the SMW division but as it stands it's pretty weak. Shame De Gale is out. Add Top Ranks need to fill TV dates with ESPN, makes me question if Ramirez will feature.

Happy days! My only hope is that a US network picks this series up.

Usyk is THE top favourite and he will become Undisputed Cruiserweight World Champ.After this he will move up to Heavyweight at the end of 2018. My prediction is : Usyk vs Gassiev in the final.

[Andrij]

Once they got 3 or 4 fighters it was only a matter of time before the rest joined or else they'd have no one to fight. So are all the champions in the tournament? They'll be an undisputed champion at the end of the tournament?

Yes. The winner becomes Undisputed World Champ. Btw Gassiev beat Lebedev but still holds the WBA Super title. The regular WBA Champ Dorticos participates in this tournament.

Wow, this Cruiserweight-tournament is a Monster! It is great for boxing and especially the Cruiserweight-Division who is not getting the attention it diserves! Cruiserweight has a lot talented, spectacular fighters right now and the best of them are in the tournament! Can't wait!

Nice! my guess it's going to be either Usyk vs Gassiev in the final bout or Usyk vs Briedis

Yes agree with you. It depends on the 1/4 final draw and who wins. Maybe we even see surprises that Gassiev or Briedis lose already in 1/4 finals to Kudryashov,Huck,Glowacki or Wlodarczyk.

Happy days! My only hope is that a US network picks this series up.
