I wouldn't even venture to guess as to what Usyk or any of these guys should do next.
One thing for sure is that the merry-go-round that is heavyweight talk, nego- (cough) "negotiations", posturing, and calling out of others... will put a glaze over anybody's eyes.
But let's look at the champ and top contenders (at least as far as The Ring is concerned), and see what they're saying today:
[
B]Joshua has said he wants: Dillian Whyte (whom he knocked out in 2015), plus the fearsome Otto Wallin and the household name Filip Hrgovic. No mention of Wilder or Fury.[/B]
Usyk has said he wants Fury and then Wilder, although it is reported that instead of Wilder he would probably be forced to face a mandatory.
Wilder has said he wants: Fury (forget it, Deontay), Joshua, and Usyk.
Fury is off to face Chisora, who he's already beaten twice... is a retread... and has 12 losses to his record. After that it's anybody's guess.
Side note: Fury gets pissed off when his upcoming slaughter of Chisora is called a mismatch. Of course he does.
Hell... Fury's got one foot out the door of boxing anyway.
So what does all of this mean, other than we'll probably never get the fights we want?
I like Usyk and Wilder's attitudes (other than Wilder wanting Fury again
). Let's go get it, and dispense with the nonsense.
