Comments Thread For: Usyk Signs With Matchroom; Eventually Wants To Fight Joshua

[Banderivets]

I hope it's a good move for Usyk, big deal for Hearn for sure.

But when I think about it, Hearn has a few guys which would be good soft touches for Usyk to get acclimated to HW.

With AJ being his ultimate goal....I guess as far as Usyk is concerned this is the best move for him.

If Hearn is afraid of getting AJ KOd by Wilder then say loosing a tight decision to Usyk would not be as bad, and there is a high probability Usyk gets caught by AJ too.

Lets say they give a fight to Usyk, then they do a rematch...big money there to be made.

Usyk has raised his profile in Europe big time, so business wise I think it's a smarter move to try to make a couple of fights against Usyk.

They can market the **** out of AJ vs. Usyk in the UK.

But AJ should be fighting Wilder regardless...

Big for Hearn.

Good for Usyk. Obviously can get Bellew next and eventually Joshua. These fighters who are really good and in this case great but have no set base, DAZN is great for them. Looking forward to seeing him in on some of the US cards.

agree with this 100 percent...its perfect for someone like usyk....and he will prob get the AJ fight real soon...

Hearn has been trying to contact Team Wilder for weeks regarding getting Wilder for Joshua's April date and Team Wilder aren't even responding.

They refused meetings.

They refused to show Hearn the contract.

They put together a $50m deal for Joshua to fight on BT instead of Sky, despite Joshua being exclusively contracted to Sky.

Team Wilder never wanted this fight, what more can AJ do? It's time to forget about him. Let him fight Fury twice.

AJ will continue to deal with the top 10 contenders.

Hope to see Olek and the 'Bellend' on SKY for the build-up 'Gloves are off' interviews etc., DAZN is lightweight.

It's sad when you can't afford 10 dollar for boxing

Guy just has no set base and that is why he has to travel to fight everyone. Something I really respect btw. Guy is the ultimate true world champion by every definition of the word.

This will be a good move for him. He will be able to get on a lot of the Matchroom UK and USA cards while eventually getting the big fight with Joshua down the line.

Good stuff by both parties here!
