I would like to see Usyk vs. Tabiti before Usyk moves up.
Tabiti needs at least another year before he could be ready for sutch a fight though.

Perhaps Usyk will not be waiting for him

P.S. Cool "Current faves" list bro but I wonder if Usyk could replace Murat on it?

Appears that Usyk is a Cash out job for his promoters

Yeah that’s true about Cruiserweight it’s been like that for 5-10yrs with that weight class. I just think if he moves up to Heavyweight AJ shouldn’t be his first fight. But if they’re looking to cash out then AJ probably would be his first fight at HW. Why risk that big payday fighting tune ups because at Heavyweight anything can happen

True, AJ should definitely NOT be his first fight at HW. My prediction is that because he signed with Hearn (co-promoter), after the Bellew fight he will go to HW and fight a couple of Eddie's British HWs before getting a shot at AJ.

I think that's what Hearn originally wanted for Wilder (beat a couple challengers from is stable to EARN a shot at AJ).

Hearn has Chisora and Whyte that he can get Usyk to fight in the UK, if he beats them he could then fight AJ. That is a pretty darn good payday.

Tabiti, or as Floyd Sr. would say; "Deh-beedee"
