Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua Won't Be Held For Ransom By Usyk; We Could Vacate All The Belts

[Oldskoolg]

Well what else is Usyk supposed to do? He is mandatory and has been working his whole life to be in this position.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Edward thinks Usyk is going to do what’s best for Hearn’s pocketbook

[Oldskoolg]

That just makes too much sense.

It does, therefore it won’t happen

[BLASTER1]

If I were Usyk, I would leave matchroom after that sort of statement. Insane.....absolutely insane that a promoter would say that about one of his own fighters

Maybe Usyk had a legitimate claim when he was saying them things about his last fight against Hearn and matchroom.

Usyk just wants money he's trying to stall the main fight for all the belts when he isn't even ready to fight either one of them. He looked like garbage against Chisora and was even scared at times he's not a natural heavyweight and I don't think he has enough power to make Joshua or Fury respect him. He needs to let them fight if it's going to happen and then challenge the winner as a mandatory why would you want to rush the fight for 1 belt when you can fight for all of them it's clear he's not confident in winning.

[Alan Smithee]

Usyk is asking for a percentage of the purse? He should take a reasonable step aside fee with a shot at the winner. Doesn't sound very difficult to accomplish!

That just makes too much sense.

How is that remotely making sense ? Hearn isn’t in control of Fury so how could he force him to fight Wilder ?

Had Fury fought Wilder in February and signed on that months ago then AJ would have taken the Usyk fight in May and fought .Fury in late 2021 . The situation was dependent on what Fury was going to do because AJ had to to fight Pulev regardless.

It’s Hearns fault doe ? Ha

If that happens and Joshua has to vacate the belt, then Usyk wins the vacant belt. Then Usyk would be a paper champ and I wouldn’t recognise that “belt” in any way lol

[Satir]

naive to think that the winner of Joshua-Fury would fight Usyk straight after unification, it never works this way, at most they'll vacate the WBO belt before the rematch

These same people that says AJ is ducking fury are the same people saying AJ is ducking uysk.
AJ never wins with such haters.

Boxing people aren’t that smart in general even on here . I find it amusing how easy they are to pick apart . I learned to ease up give them a head start with the posters you are talking about just to let them have a small inclination they sound like they know what they are talking about .

Remember Fury and wilder fans are not much different now , got to give them a life preserver. If you drown them there is no forum .
