Comments Thread For: Hearn Admits Usyk Could Stand in Way of Fury-Joshua Clash

[Silver Spear]

Frank Bruno was probably the most widely loved and popular British boxer ever. AJ and Henry Cooper are both up there though.

As an American with a lot of casual family members and friends I would say Lewis is the most popular British hw. I can talk about bruno and some people will know who he is but in today's day and age with the internet and social media Fury is getting there and Lewis is still the top British boxer. (Popularity wise)

I think what's helped them both is to have fought and beaten well known American boxers. Ruiz does not count because nobody knew about him beforehand.

If Joshua is serious about fighting Fury then I expect it to happen this year. Fury it's not going to be around much longer. I want him to fight Joshua then Usyk then retire.

He should not really be in a mandatory position until he beats a decent heavyweight 'For me? Beating Chisora earns him a mandatory position etc'.

It also seems like he was trying to get out of the Chisora fight for along time 'And wanted to go straight into a fight with Anthony Joshua'.

He deserves mandatory position due to his cruiserweight domination and the fact there are not many hwts worthy of being a mandatory outside of Whyte and Pulev.

He dont deserve it based on being undisputed cruiser champ...this is a whole new division where people have been waiting for their shots and because of some ****** WBO rule, this lil guy can push his way to the front of the line based on wht he did in his previous division...****** rule.

Absolutely no reason Usyk coming from cruiser to beat an old Chazz and fringe Chisora should be "standing in the way" of the biggest HW fight.
