Comments Thread For: Usyk Hints That He'd Be Open To Fury vs. Joshua Step-Aside Deal

[Butt stuff]

Free money and a chance to fight the undisputed winner and get paid even more.

What’s not to like.

Disgraceful from Usyk he was gifted the WBO heavyweight mandatory position and now wants an undeserved payday

Its a disgrace only if he can sit it out, take the money and piddle around. If he fights a name, not a who? A name, like Andy, Whyte, Oilskin, Joe, in the mean time, to keep his mando spot up to date, I can see it.

The way I look at it. Getting Andy v Usyk on the same card as Fury v AJ would open the American flood gates on the revenues.

Ok Ussyk but we've got to be fair to all fighters in the fight game. If Fury v Joshua goes ahead there's going to be a rematch clause so Ussyk will be out for the whole year and what about the other fighters like Joyce who doesn't have time on his hands. First fight will be April/ May then rematch Nov/Dec and Ussyk next April /May then any other fighter only gets a chance end of 2022. These rematch clauses need to stop. All the alphabet bodies need to put in rules if you lose in a world title fight you need 2 more wins before getting another title shot. No fighter is bigger than the sport after Joshua and Fury boxing will still be there no fighter is bigger than the sport. Joshua and Fury are very selfish people they are rich (millionaires) because of boxing they don't own the sport.

WBO rules allow for a champion to challenge for a title at the next weight division after they move up. Hardly Usyk's fault.

Casuals should stay in their lane and what they know. You’ve got some reading to do.
Rules allow a unified champ to challenge for a title in the next weight class.

Vinnykin just hit the panic button . Ha

[skinnystev]

due to his poor showing vs chisora the known slapper usyk does not deserve a title shot at heavyweight or anykind of "step aside" money

[James Hunt]

And who's gonna pay him to just sit on the bench scratching his balls?!
