Can’t wait for this. Usyk vs Huck was a real freaking nice fight, really enjoyed it. This one will top that if Briedis will come out to fight and not clinch. Rooting for Usyk to take the whole kit and kaboodle home, all of it baby!!!!! ������

Does anyone know if wbss will stream this on their site?

Usyk will have worked on defending the clinch and maintaining distance, he done it lots against Huck, spun or moved back and hit him while he was trying to clinch, the guy has mad skills. Like he said in the promo video...he'll be using the jab.

A) has there ever been 4 belt holders meeting in a knockout tourney like this before?
B) can Bellew have the overall winner at the end as Emiritus Champ?

For some reason Bellew started calling out HW when there are a few chaps in his own division who get a ton of attention from everyone, except for Bellew. Of course, there is no shame in losing to a HW when you are a natural CW. I think Usyk would have sent Bellew to dark places followed by a nice retirement and commentary job.
