Comments Thread For: Who should be next for Oleksandr Usyk? BoxingScenes team weighs in

[johndonny]

Is there a law that a British fighter must be in every single HW title fight? A.J got his head kicked in 4 out of his last 5 title fights. Fury was soundly beaten in his last 3 fights but got a gift vs Ngannu including 0 for 2 in his recent title fights. Dubois lost every minute of every round before taking a knee and quitting vs Usyk. Somehow British fans feel Dubois should have won on a nut punch, which was 1 of 5 low blows I counted him throwing. Dubois doesn't belong in the same ring as the great Usyk. As a fan zi would love to see Usyk fight the winner of Zhang/Kabayel. Usyk vs Parker if he beats Dubois or a fight vs Bakole or whoever is a worthy contender. I don't need to see Usyk Dubois 2. Then after he beats him again being force fed the winner of Fury/AJ getting their 5th shot accumulatively before anybody else does. Usyk wipes out the top 3 british fighters over and over again so the powers that be threaten to strip him. Usyk says fine and gives one up so thst 2 british fighters can have a paper belt. Enough already.

The Dubois vs Parker fight is intriguing. It should show where each fighter is in their development. If Dubois wins, I think he absolutely should get another crack at Usyk. The fact that Oleksandr was forced to vacate his IBF belt to Dubois should be incentive to face him again to get it back. Have you ever considered why Daniel was awarded the belt, instead of some of these other guys that you speak of? If Usyk declines to rematch him, it will be seen as a duck by some.

If I was Usyk, I’d rather rematch a guy that you already beat convincingly than defend my belts against Bakole.
Myself, and I assume many others, don’t put too much stock in paper titles that were stripped from the true champion. But hey, if it happens, it happens and I’ll tune in. Usyk will follow the money like any prize fighter at this stage of his career.
