Hearn has o2 on hold for usyk vs. Chisora for march 28

[smashup]

Good test of Usyks chin if he fights Del Boy and a decent tune up for a possible AJ fight.

Hearn heavily favours the Pulev fight for Josh next 😉

[El Kabong]

Usyk will just float through a fight vs Del Boy who is WEEEEEELL past it. He knocks out David Price in his last fight, yes AAAAAND? Who couldn't at this point? Chisora won't test Usyk's chin, he'll only test his stamina and ability to handle a bit of banter in a presser.


Usyk may even be able to stop Chisora...if he can't then I don't much like his chances to gain a belt.


AJ vs Pulev? Well AJ has learned his lesson right? Should be an easy KO win for him....should be.

[Primo Carnera]

Perfect fight for Usyk. Gradually getting into the HW Scene. Chisora will try to rough up Usyk and drag him into a brawl, throwing some big shots at close quarters. But in reality, Usyk should be able to deal with him how he wants.

I’ve never been high on Chisora whosoever and he is even worse now, but I will agree that it will be a good learning experience to fight a HW who will be going at him and trying to make the fight ugly.

I can’t blame Usyk for the fight though because he wanted AJ and can’t get him, so he has to fight whoever is available. And at least it’s a named fighter rather than some random guy nobody has heard of. The problem is that I’m afraid that they will set up a mega fight for AJ against the winner of Wilder and Fury. That means that Usyk will be on the outside again. If that does happen, hopefully he can make a fight with a legit contender.

[Baal]

This fight is meaningless to Usyk other than keeping him active. That is a sparring session for him

I mostly agree with Baal, although it does serve as a gauge of whether Usyk carries some power as a HW I guess. Be very surprised if Chisora asks many other questions of him, it's a good showcase fight.
