I think Smashup posted about it in another thread.
This will keep him active and continue to raise his profile.
I'm not sure it guarantees Bellew is next tho.
Re: Oleksandr Usyk signs with Matchroom
Usyk is a really good fighter and I enjoy watching him fight great skills.
Re: Oleksandr Usyk signs with Matchroom
This is a great signing for Hearns.
Re: Oleksandr Usyk signs with Matchroom
I see Derek Chisora or Dillian Whyte on his horizon ;D

Chisora would be a good heavyweight entry fight.
Hearn can now keep Usyk of AJ's back a little longer.
Re: Oleksandr Usyk signs with Matchroom
Hearn also now has a P4P elite to help sell his Danz lark in the States.
Re: Oleksandr Usyk signs with Matchroom
When Hearn signed Ortiz there was a feeling he did it to keep him away from Joshua. The two fights he had under matchroom didn't progress his career at all
i Hope history doesn't repeat itself here
Re: Oleksandr Usyk signs with Matchroom
The time will/has come when Hearns gonna be asked to match his name fighters against each other..
Joshua v Whyte 2
Khan v Brook
Usyk v Bellew
The public will cry out for these fights but will he deliver them?
Re: Oleksandr Usyk signs with Matchroom
I see Usyk having great success at heavyweight once he moves up.

bellew said he will only fight Usyk at cruiserweight and all 4 titles need to be on the line or he'll retire
Re: Oleksandr Usyk signs with Matchroom
Looking forward to seeing Usyk take a punch off a full blown Heavyweight before I'm convinced he's a threat to the belt holders.

That's correct, which is why the WBA calling for Usyk to defend against Lebedev could scuttle that fight.
I wouldn't want to see Usyk put on much weight at heavyweight.
