Usyk vs Luis Ortiz

Usyk should make a statement.

[Dreamking]

Usyk is crazy, moving up to heavyweight and wants to challenge the top dogs right away. If that is the case, Usyk vs Ortiz would be a ****er.

I applaud his ambition, but he should start with top 10 first, then Whyte, then the Big Three. If he beats Whyte convincingly, he will become a super star even if he then loses to AJ or Wilder.

Usyk vs Luis Ortiz

Usyk should make a statement.

Ortiz is fighting Christian Hammer March 2 so I doubt Ortiz will fight Usyk in under 2 months...

[steeve steel]

Parker or Whyte? Ortiz is a dangerous first step...

Is he signed to DAZN? If so doubt he fights a top fighter

[joe strong]

If this fight is in the US it will more than likely be against an American or a fighter based out of the US anyway. Washington, Martin, Ruiz, Kownacki, Miller, Hunter, Arreola, Kauffman, Jennings all come to mind. Kownacki or Ruiz? Hunter rematch? I doubt it’s Miller, Washington or Arreola. Jennings & Martin coming off losses. If he said top fighters then we will have to wait.

Ortiz turned down the Usyk fight according to Usyk's manager. Apparently he's still holding out for a Wilder rematch and doesn't want the risk!

I would like to see him fight Ward, if Andrea came back. But yes, why not fight the heavyweights, they aren't that great. Usyk has a chance, although of course it would be tough against AJ, Fury and Wilder.
