What should Usyk do next?

[Master]

Usyk has revealed that he would be open to a third clash but only if it is staged in the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv. “If Fury doesn’t agree I think we could try to have another fight," Usyk told Parimatch when discussing a potential third fight with Joshua.

We already had a match in London and in Saudi Arabia as well, so the next one could be at the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv. He has powerful potential for his development, but he just needs to get rid of people who prevent him progressing. These extra people around him who want to give the best piece of advice, who all want to share his success, he just doesn’t need them. He has to think about his team. But above all he is such a great guy and I wish him good luck.”

And Usyk believes that Joshua struggled to defeat him due to his "one-punch" gameplan, which left the Ukrainian able to regain control in the final rounds. "He was really well-trained," Usyk said. "But for some reason he focused on delivering one heavy punch.

"During the ninth round he had successful combinations and I admit I didn't manage to dodge some of them. Yes, he was better prepared for the rematch if we compare it with the first bout."

I think Usyk will want to face someone easier like the US fighters Wilder or Ruiz. Especially since he said he wanted to face Canelo.

i also think deontay & andy are easier for oleksandr than juggernaut joe & deontay is probably the bigger fight. i just think joe is the bigger challenge

Hanging onto little sound bites like “wanting to fight Canelo” to try to discredit Usyk. He said he wanted Fury first and then Canelo would be for shits,giggles and money. He wanted to clean out the division first and take care of business.
What’s your hero Fury’s reason for bottling Joshua and wanting to fight Charr?

I was actually discrediting the US fighters not Usyk.

Fury offered AJ the contest after Usyk said he would not be ready to fight. He is the next best available contender. If it is not agreed then both are to blame.

Joshua has no blame whatsoever. All he has said was he accepts. He hasn’t shouted his mouth off and if Fury, the promoters and the TV companies can’t sort it , that’s not on AJ.
It’s on Fury because he was the one saying HE Was offering AJ the opportunity.

"After I get rid of Tyson Fury, I'm going to talk to Wilder," said Usyk to ESNEWS when told that yesterday was Wilder's 37th birthday.

It now appears that, should Usyk defeat Fury, he will face Wilder in his next fight. He has already defeated Anthony Joshua on two occasions and the American may be deemed the next step.

However, one of the sanctioning bodies could order Usyk to make a mandatory defence of one of his belts against a chosen challenger, so Wilder could be left waiting. The 37-year-old could be a frustrating matchup for Usyk thanks to his 6'7" frame.

It will be interesting to see how Usyk's plan plays out and if he can achieve his goals before retiring. It will be a great way to end his career and cement his legacy as one of the greatest boxers of all time.

Usyk and his team's track record is impeccable and there has never been any problems from their side getting fights made with any of his other opponents. They have a reputation as being the most transparent, most honest, and easiest to deal with people in the whole of boxing (Joshua, Bellew, Hearn, Chisora, Arum, everyone confirmed it time and again to be the case)

Fury doesn't fancy his chances against Usyk and he'll duck him. He's not scared of Usyk. It's more risk / reward. Despite all the talk the Fury's do of being the best and the gyspy king and Usyk being a middleweight. They know DAM WELL that Usyk is a MASSIVE challenge. That's why Fury's eyes light up when it comes to fighting The Dosser for a 4th time or a fight against a MMA fighter who has a 0-0-0 boxing record. They're lower risk fights with pretty much the same reward as fighting Usyk. That's why he'll duck Usyk

He pretty much said it himself. Same as he ducked the Vlad rematch. Same as he ducked Joshua (when AJ was undefeated)

60/40 to the winner is very fair, especially given the huge physical advantages, age advantage, and the equally huge advantage Belly will have in his favour of fighting at home.

And Fury will be given free licence to octopus grab and foul the much smaller man

It sounds like Usyk has a clear plan for his next fights and retirement, with the ultimate goal being a heavyweight unification bout with Tyson Fury. He also wants a "freak" fight with Canelo Alvarez for the money, and then finish his career at the Olimpiyskiy Stadium. It will be interesting to see if these fights come to fruition and how Usyk performs in them.

Tyson Fury looks to be in absolutely incredible shape. This guy has really lost a lot of weight and he looks so incredibly good. I think he's literally going to kill this guy. https://youtu.be/Oa9I54YT9gQ?si=G6FOUI-slCRewPUE

Deontay Wilder has made a bizarre attempt to call out three of the top heavyweight boxers.

The American, who hasn't fought since back-to-back defeats to Tyson Fury, has targeted Fury, Antony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk after claiming he is still a 'big fish' in the division.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Wilder said he expects to fight Fury a fourth time, challenged Oleksandr Usyk to offer him a title shot and criticised Joshua's stamina.

'I think that there's definitely a chance of a fourth fight [with Fury],' he said. 'Boxing is a business. Many people call it a sport but it's not a sport.

'The heavyweight division is very small. I'm still a big fish in the business, especially here in America. As long as we're all in the same division and all still currently fighting, why not? It only can lead to that. With all that being said, it's definitely a possibility.'

'I just think Joshua was very cautious in what he did as far as exchanging punches [with Usyk],' Wilder said. 'I always forever said it, as I see it he has a big stamina problem.

'I think if he can correct that, you will see a different Joshua. You won't see one that's so hesitant to throw punches and do things especially when he was close to getting him [Usyk] out of there.

'I think he was just a little fearful of running out of gas too quick and too fast and he held back a little bit.'

The heavyweight champion has however since made it clear he has no intention of fighting Wilder, claiming he wants to face Fury and Canelo Alvarez before retiring in his home country.

'I hold Usyk to be a man of his word,' Wilder said.

'If Usyk's saying he wants to give me an opportunity for the titles then that's what I'm holding his word to.

'I always tell people that I don't look past fighters but I do look through them, there's nothing wrong with that, being confident in yourself and looking ahead.'
