    What's left for Usyk after the WBSS is he wins?

    I think it's almost assumed at this point that he takes the tournament. I have to wonder what he can do afterword? He will have beat all the best names at cruiserweight.

    He can try his luck at Heavyweight but I don't see him being successful unless he goes the Holyfield foul and PED cheat route.

      Get the last belt from Bellew then move up to heavyweight, beat Wilder.

        I think Briedis deserves a rematch. Usyk will for sure have some mandatory's to fulfill. But ultimately I think a run at HW will be in the cards for him & I don't hate his chances vs anyone with a belt right now. I think he could potentially box circles around Joshua (too slow), Wilder (too wild) & Parker (too Parker).

              It's Ledebev who has the WBA super belt. He was able to keep the belt despite Gassiev beating him but Dorticos has the regular belt so he'll have all four regular titles but Ledebev will have the "super" title. Bellew was the WBC.

              I think Usyk will move up in 2019. Hopefully he gets to fight Ledebev before moving up and he'd probably go to Russia to get it done too.

              I think a re-match with Briedis, a fight with the loser of this weekends fight would also be great options and reason to stick around for another year or two at the weight.

                Defend his titles, why does he need to go into the realm of giant guys?
                There needs to be a heavyweight division and super heavyweight division to better facilitate cruisers going to a new division because right now it is absolutely unfair.

                  HW. you can make more money in one fight at HW than you'll make in two years at CW.

                    Why not try HWT or to entice Kov to come up and fight.
