My ideal situation would be for Usyk to fight Bellew, then defend against Lebedev, then face off against the winner of season 2. If Briedis wins the 2nd season, then it's a well deserved rematch.
Don't see it happening that way tho, as the big money/ fights at heavy will be calling to Usyk.
Usyk seems like the decent type, I think if he plans to move to heavy (after Bellew) he will relinquish the titles so the others can get the opportunity.
Hearn/ DAZN will keep Usyk busy, so he may remain at cruiser for another few fights, while the heavyweight division sorts it sh-t out.
