Usyk's management contacted by Andre Ward.

Ill root for ward but know Usyk is gonna win....
But if it happens Ward is Crazy and brave.

It's not like he's moving to cw to face some murderous puncher...ward has the boxing skills to see him through. Worst case he gets decisioned, best case he makes it a dog fight and takes usyk out of his element. It comes down to the fight being financially worth ward's while tho.

[Diegosome1]

No tune ups for ward. A tune up for him is like 3 fights.

Whyte is fighting Joshua not Usyk. I think Whyte vs Usyk will & probably should happen at some point doe.

If Del Boy wins I could see Usyk being in play, but I tend to think Hearn will aim for a trilogy fight more than move these guys along in different directions.

i find it odd that Hearn doesn't seem too keen on making Del Boy v AJ if he beats Dillian. Considering Dillian is gonna get the fight if he beats Chisora.

Then again, maybe Chisora is a harder sell than Whyte, considering he's lost a fair few fights, been whooped by Fury twice etc. but still, i think the AJ casuals will be ok with it if Chisora beats Whyte.

it will certainly make it interesting to see who AJ fights in April if Chisora wins but it's not him, because i don't think it will be Fury or Wilder.

although i think Hearn wants to build Usyk v AJ for a few fights time, i wouldn't be surprised if he does talk to Usyk about getting straight in with AJ in April if the options are thin. He has a big stadium to fill and Usyk might just take it for the right money, even if he hasn't fought at Heavyweight.

no he doesn't. if he had great boxing skills why does he always resort to nonstop cheating and fouling when challenged? he has the fouling and surivival skills is what you meant to say but unfortunately this is boxing and i just looked at the rules did you know ward was a massive cheater! omg we have to get tapes of his fights to the commisions fast!

I watched the first 3 minutes. He said Ward's team had reached out recently about the possibility of a fight, but as it stands right now they're likely looking at fighting at heavyweight.


Would be a great fight. Just don't known if the money is there for it.

Ward easily whips him.

Ward easily whips him.

yes ward probably would literally whip him with a whip and his drooling fanbase would pretend nothing happened like always

Del Boy seems a couple steps down from the tip top of the division to me. So Del Boy winning means Whyte fell off then Del Boy rose to the occasion in my book.

Then again, maybe Chisora is a harder sell than Whyte, considering he's lost a fair few fights, been whooped by Fury twice etc. but still, i think the AJ casuals will be ok with it if Chisora beats Whyte.

I definitely think he's a harder sell. He lost to a f#cking prospect a few fights back ffs. Thats not a guy who should be one fight from a title shot in general. He'd need to do more to get a title shot if you ask me.

it will certainly make it interesting to see who AJ fights in April if Chisora wins but it's not him, because i don't think it will be Fury or Wilder.

Agreed on this. I think Fury or Wilder probably got about a 5% chance combined of being the B side for April.

although i think Hearn wants to build Usyk v AJ for a few fights time, i wouldn't be surprised if he does talk to Usyk about getting straight in with AJ in April if the options are thin. He has a big stadium to fill and Usyk might just take it for the right money, even if he hasn't fought at Heavyweight.

Yea I think the plan is the same as you, but sh^t happens & sometimes you get the callup sooner. Don't think it'll happen like that, but I think it could.

I'm a Ward fan but I doubt he'd fight Usyk after retirement. I don't see Ward winning this one.

Ward at HW would be interesting. Wonder if he's aiming at Joshua, Wilder or whoever is gonna have that other belt (Big Baby or Charr or Fres or whoever the f#ck) when that bs all works out.
