Warren says AJ's next opponent is Usyk

[The Big Dunn]

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.

He just beat Bellew at HWT didn't he?

Could be possible. Remember that Usyk being the undisputed champ at cruiser more than likely becomes the WBO mandatory for AJ if he moves up. Champs that move up a division usually get a mandatory title shot.

That was a cruiserweight defense.

I doubt the fight will happen next but if it does Usyk will win but not sure that's enough on the scores.

Too early, needs to fight a tune-up or two and top 15 heavyweight first

[DuckAdonis]

Great fight, I think Usyk can pull it off !

Don't forget that people underestimated Holyfield too

Bellew dropped down to cruiser to fight him. Usyk has the skills to compete at heavy, just not sure if he has the chin.

Usyk is far more talented, but you can’t say it’s not a cherry pick if it’s Usyk’s first fight at heavyweight.

Especially if you called wilder/Fury a cherry pick

They fought at CW. I thought HW would have made more sense to get Usyk’s feet wet...but they didn’t see it that way.

Cruiserweight. Though honestly Bellew's not really a proper HW either so it's doubtful it made a significanct difference.

Very foolish from usyk if true. Why rush?
