    Warren says AJ's next opponent is Usyk



    Meh great fighter, not that intriguing at HW. Should be a pretty easy payday. Usyk doesn't have anywhere near the power to deal with AJ IMHO.

    If Usyk can handle AJ's power I think he wins. I just don't know if he can overcome the size difference.

      Fib true I would look forward to the fight for sure. Undisputed cruiser weight vs unified heAvyweight ; will be a stash of belts! Won’t be able to see a spare space at the press conference.

      Would be epic!

      Usyk would be a cracking practice fight for fury too

        How legitimate is this source? I have a hard time believing that Usyks handlers would just thrust him in with AJ without a single heavyweight bout, but then again a big paycheck can change anyones inhibitions.

          Well it's Frank Warren, one of the two big promoters in the UK. He's probably pretty plugged in.

            I think very little chance it is Usyk. Gotta be Whyte if he beats Chisora in the rematch and then if not him for some reason, possibly Pulev? Get rid of the mandatory?

                I think Usyk should test the waters at heavyweight with another opponent first. But if true; best of luck to him and props!

                  Warren has generally been pretty much spot on when saying who AJ's future opponent will be. Of course he has good inside information, as someone said up there, he's the second biggest promoter in the UK.

                  Who knows if it will happen but i'd say that Warren's words are not just guess work.

                  Maybe Usyk fancies it? - it's other people saying he's not ready. Maybe he thinks he can do the job now. We don't know what he's thinking.

                  I'd be very surprised though. Whether he can beat AJ or not remains to be seen but i would've thought they would want him to beat a few heavyweights to build the fight. Then again, he's just coming off the back of a UK PPV against one of the biggest UK names. What better build up is there than that?

                  I definitely think they will be trying to convince Usyk to fight if Whyte loses. They have a stadium to fill and a PPV to sell

                    Translation: frank warren predicted AJ would take on his mandatory once.

                    Frank warren has no idea what eddie Hearn is upto 95% of the time in reality. He will only know if it involves fury.
