Oleksandr Usyk signs with Matchroom

[MMALOPEZ]

If there’s any chance that Oleksandr Usyk and Tony Bellew square off with all the cruiserweight titles on the line, it has just got a lot better. WBN reports that Usky has just signed with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing in a joint promotional venture alongside K2 promotions. With the signing Usyk’s next fight will stream on DAZN and air live on Sky Sports.

This is fucking great news.

Usyk to beat Bellew, then he can start working his way through Chisora/Whyte to see if he is good enough at the top weight to compete with Joshua, makes perfect sense.

HEARN RUNS BOXING.

The Bellew fight isn't competitive, but it should get him paid, introduce him to the UK audience, and set up a HW run.

 

[wilddeuces]

Only way he'd get the Bellew fight.

He will absolutely destroy Bellend. It’ll be a pleasure to watch.

why? because i am feel.

Great news. Lets just hope that Hearn can buy off or is willing to buy off the WBA so that they don't wreck a meet up with Bellew.

Usyk is there to school some heavyweights. I AM FEEL

Breidis roughed him up, can he really hang with AJ?

It (Bellew fight) was going to happen regardless. Usyk just makes more this way with the money crate DAZN was given and it doesn't put any complications between a potential match with Joshua.

Joshua's days as champion are numbered at this point

Why bellew gives a shit about the wba belt is beyond me

Of course not

Its bizzare to me people think he would beat aj or even do well at hw

Look at what briedis did to manuel charr

Yes but we've all earned the chance to see Bellew take this L and he's certainly earned it too.

 

[Philtard]

It's in the bag. Tony would fight at either heavy or cruiser.

 

[Philtard]

Of course not

I think he'd do pretty well but you're right. If he comes up against a momster then its debatable.

I got my fill when he got destroyed by Stevenson and then was arguing with Cleverly about who had the better resume between Stevenson and Kovalev (i.e. the two guys who destroyed him and Cleverly).
