    Usyk rather wants Bellew at CW, then Joshua...

    ... "Usyk wants the fight. I have a lot of respect for Tony, he is a brave and determined fighter who proved his skills and character in the last couple of fights. Bellew is an emeritus WBC champ, Usyk holds the regular WBC title. This fight should definitely take place."

    Usyk told Sky Sports in January: "I will move up to heavyweight and show them all how good I am. I think you can see yourself, I will fight [Joshua]."

      Doesn't it makes sense for him to move up with a winnable fight that is profitable?

              I meant against Bellew. Get some money in a fight that would be broadcast to more people. Then go up for the champs, if they are willing to fight. IMO Usyk is a problem for any HWT because of his immense skill.

                      he goes Bellew, then Joshua IMO. Usyk doesn't need to wait. Having the WBO CW title means that once he moves up to HW he can demand a title shot whenever he pleases.

                          ... OK... but it's interesting how Usyk tries to lure Bellew down to CW...

                              I was thinking Bellew. The short term money is in England.

                                  I don't know if he goes right from Bellew to AJ. wouldn't he have to go through a parker/takam/stivernne/brazeale level HWT first?

                                      ... really?... I didn't know that... You mean that Usyk is forcing Bellew at CW, or else he's calling out Joshua?...
