    Hearn planning Usyk vs Povetkin for Usyk's heavyweight debut

    That's a prettt good opponent for Usyk's first fight at heavyweight



    I can see it ending as a Usyk decision if he can manage to take Povetkin's power who rocked joshua multiple times with the overhand right.

    Would love to see Usyk fight Wilder as the fury rematch is looking unlikely.

    Usyk should fight 2 or 3 slow big guys without dynamite in their hands just to show the world he's capable to outbox them easily. He's too weak physically to meet heavy hands now. I think Povetkin is not a great choice for him.

      This is a serious challenge, if Povetkin is motivated and has kept himself in condition.

        This would be a great matchup and I see Oleksandr Usyk announcing himself on the Heavyweight stage in impressive fashion.

            Saw this before. While I think it's winnable, it's definitely a big risk. I don't see it as the wisest of moves. Bellew was a joke and yet Usyk had his hands full. Might be best to fully acclimate to the division before taking on a KO monster, albeit a faded KO monster.

                When did he "rock joshua multiple times"

                  Bellew landed on Usyk and Povetkin will too.
                  Povetkin by KO

                    Usyk by easy KO. At this stage of Povetkin's career, he's old, small, chinny and eats too many punches. In addition, he is not that hard to find and has a very leaky defense.
