Comments Thread For: Usyk Will Not Step Aside From Joshua Title Shot, Says Hearn

[deathofaclown]

The primary selling point for Fury-Joshua is "full unification; undisputed" imo. Joshua has also said the past he isn't vacating any titles.
Late 2021 before that fight happens.

Yeah him and Hearn are hypocrites if they vacate something

Hearn was saying Fury v AJ night not happen if Fury vacated the WBC because AJ’s dream is to hold all the belts, the fight is about trying to have them all.

I never doubted it wasn't what was going to happen after the Pulev fight

[deathofaclown]

Why would he?

A big money fight with unified AJ and another big money fight with Fury for undisputed if he wins.

Or

One big money fight with the undisputed champ IF they don't vacate and Usyk doesn't lose before then.

I believe Usyk can beat AJ too, I’m sure he also thinks it.

Fury has also said he’s not confident him v AJ happens if AJ has to fight Usyk first.

If I was Usyk, I wouldn’t be stepping aside for anybody. What’s his option, step aside for a year while Fury and AJ fight twice then fight the winner? Fury will be the winner and Usyk will end up in a more difficult fight for the titles.

Usyk is also the older man and been injury prone. He can’t afford to volunteer to wait around.

Why should he?

[Satir]

Usyk can easily outpoint Joshua having better legs and faster hands, avoiding big shots, but he needs to do it now, while he still has these advantages

"There is always the possibility that Joshua will drop the WBO title in order to move forward with a very lucrative two fight series against Fury."

That's exactly what he should do, if he beats Pulev, and Fury beats Wilder! Beating Fury would be worth it!

[Vinnykin]

Who cares in waiting a few month longer? AJ should be fighting more regularly any way with 3 belts, if he genuinely wants to be undisputed. Him losing put it back 6 months at least. He could have cleare Ruiz and Pulev quicker before covid hit. Fighting every 6-9 months just gives him the excuse and there's always a mando to clear.

Should start arranging the Usyk fight for late march early April..... so we can get an undisputed in July,August,September time.

Likely will have a vaccine by then and can fill out a stadium.

Why though? just fight Usyk and get an undisputed in the summer. These guys have had enough breaks. They can fight every 3 months.

... even if Fury somehow vacates the WBC strap, he still holds the "Ring" belt and the TBRB "lineal' status...

Absolutely but Eddie was saying a few weeks ago that Joshua just wants to WBC belt regardless of who owns it because he wants all the belts.

So if he vacated one of his then this whole “dream” was a lie or excuse to use when it suits.
