I think he may call it a day if he doesn't land a 'money' fight.
Gassiev/Usyk is a tough, tough fight. Especially if it comes with a low financial reward.

Maybe Stevenson is the most likely? Fury is a no-go.

I would have thought Chisora v Bellew would generate a bucket of cash. The pre-fight trash-talking would be epic, and you could sell tickets to the pre-fight press conference and weigh-in as they would both kick off (so you end up with 3 fights, not just one).

Eddie, shouldn't it be Bellew's decision who to fight? And how much he is willing to accept it? Bellew seems to be quiet though. Both Eddie and Bellew know they won't handle either Usyk or Gassiev.

one fight with that joker haye and hes sorted for life, wow

lucky people in the uk buy ppv's between retired over the hill spoofers and near nobodies

my fave is ward at 200. would luv to see ward fight haye then top cruiserweight. i think he outclassed bellew btw but itd be damn good. bellew would def have a go at him.

- bt sport dont want it to be bellew and fury knows he isnt ready
- stevenson fight isnt big enough
- might be ward and if it is confirms to me ward retires to cycle peds because vada and usada stop testing when a figbter is retired

Lol or maybe guys retire just to get away from sport for a bit enjoy they family and things not everything is about cycling peds

But that shortlist does not include the winner of today's World Boxing Super Series cruiserweight tournament - as undefeated world champions Murat Gassiev and Oleksrandr Usyk battle for the WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF world titles.

"I don't think so [about the Usyk-Gassiev winner]," Hearn said to Sky Sports. "I don't think the money is there for that fight [against either guy]. He wants those fights, but it's my job as well to say 'That's a very, very dangerous fight. I'm not letting you take that fight for a third of what you got against David Haye.'"

It's you're job to PROMOTE the fight! How hard can it be to promote a fight to become the Unified Cruiserweight Champion of the World? Especially when both Gassiev and Usyk know that the money is better in the UK!

And people are wondering why we couldn't get a Wilder fight. There is your answer right there.

Stevenson is old and didn't look good his last fight so most likely it will be him.
