Fantastic fight! Very solid test for first fight at heavyweight.

[Earl-Hickey]

It's a good fight but I'm not sure what Povetkin has left, at his age I think the AJ fight may have been his last real effort and there's a chance he comes in half-assed for this one. I hope not though I want to see Usyk tested

*Possibly* May 18th. Great fight, TERRIBLE date if Wilder/Fury2 is official for the same day

I can see this being a fun fight to watch. Does Usyk have the power to worry Povetkin at heavyweight ?

They would never put the fight on the same date as Wilder Fury.. We'll find out when Wilder Fury will happen this Monday according to Frank Warren.

Usyk not playing around. Full respect for taking a Top 10 and arguably Top 5 HW right out the gate.

Usyk wins this in definitive fashion and he earns serious consideration for PFP #1 over Loma and TC

I've always said Usyk can beat Wilder (by KO even), but AJ is too big for him. Not sure about Fury as the fight would be odd given Furys unique style

Yea makes sense with a PBC card next weekend here in the US and in the UK . Dunno what Pedvetkin has left, but props for Usyk if this is his first fight @ HW

[Cutthroat]

This is a good fight for Usyk to look impressive in, Pedvetkin is almost 40, got decimated and KO'd in his last fight, dropped by Price the fight before, and his power has all but disappeared since the PED bust.

Povetkin had some serious trouble against Huck. He’s way passed those days and Usyk is a damn good fighter. This would be a solid adjustment fight for Usyk as he’s more or less the same height as Povetkin. He’s also in his prime and Povetkin is just about down. I can see usyk getting the TKO.

Usyk just wants to put another Ruski out of commission the racist.
