Media WBO orders Usyk vs Parker

Parker is decent. I think he should hold some gimme fights in Ukraine and I think he could do good figures in the UK at this stage. It's still a better division than the K2 era.
He does want his last fight to be in Ukraine but I don't know how feasible that is currently. I suppose if enough money is on the table an opponent would be willing to travel there. If I were him I'd just continue to fight in the UK. The K2 era was definitely weaker than the heavyweight division today. Anyone that thinks otherwise didn't follow it very closely.

This is empty dream IMHO.

1. Ppvs most likely might be sold well.
2. Live gates income he can't generate in Kiev sufficiently ...even before 2022 th.
This does mean to sell VIP tables for good price, lodges + other best paid places in arena... at lest this.
Ukr doesn't want to pay. For ppvs or tv btw more likely.
 
Parker's latest "call out" video. Unfortunately for him Turki doesn't want him as Usyk's opponent. It's shitty but that's the reality. I think Usyk will likely end up vacating and Parker will be elevated from interim to full WBO champ.


Parker is P4P #1 for funniest callout videos
simply some of the funniest boxing related stuff i have seen since Shannon Briggs
 
Great call out video, but I just don't see Parker having much for Usyk. Deserves his chance though.

I think that Parker could potentially make it interesting but I don't see him winning. Like you said he deserves his shot. Unfortunately I don't think he's going to get it. I feel that Usyk will probably vacate the WBO title and Parker (interim champ) will be elevated to full champion. The other day I heard one of Usyk's team members say that they'd be open to fighting Wilder under the right circumstances. I hope they're not serious about that. Wilder looks shot. He hasn't been a Top 5 heavyweight for a while. I'm not even sure that he's Top 10 anymore. That fight does nothing for me or Usyk's legacy at this point. If they'd fought a few years ago then it would have had some significance.

I agree. Cos Usyk had short fight....
Then for next he might be ready pretty fast.....short timeframe.

A might agree Usyk vs Parker next fight for Usyk, howrver if there aren't long term to wait.
Usyk is ower the hill. Clock is ticking.

Parker isn't easy fight in no case.
He is lesser predictable than Dubois and moves around more smoothly etc.....

I don't think that Usyk had stoppage win if he had Parker not Dubois in his last fight.
More likely some close UD on cards.

On paper for WBO some years ago was stuff like...
If champion does vacate belt, then No1 cotender entitled to fight for world title wasn't automatically entitled as champion.

In such case cotender No1 should fight vs cotender No2 for title.
If cotender No1 is ready but cotender No2 isn't , then cotender No3 ...in their rankings...ofc.
 
If we don’t then it means everybody has something to prove.

Right now Usyk has to prove he’s among the top 10 greatest HWs of all time since many people still doubt it. After that, he’ll have to prove he’s top 5, then top 3 and so on.

Saying Usyk has nothing to prove when he’s only had 8 fights at HW is insane.
I don't think Usyk really cares about what some mouthbreathers in the internet think. Boxing armchair nerds analysts who thinks their opinions are valuable in the real world are the worst. He even talks himself out of greatness like he does not even care.

He is just a family man is milking his career and making a shitload of money while he is clearly a step or two ahead of competition.


BTW. I think he should fight Parker. I don't see how he loses that fight.
 
The torch needs to be passed to Agit Kabayil!

If Usyk retires with out fighting Agit, Turki has failed us.

1. I agree and want that he should fight Parker. Especially cos his last bout was short and Usyk wasn't tired.

2. However your claims that Usyk might milk belts is wrong. Usyk had fought on foreign soil vs tickets sellers in order to unify belts.

While easy peasy might had milked 1 belt, quickly agree to fight voluntary title defense fights with top 12 ranked by boxing org boxer and presented boxing org next fight contract.
Usyk doesn't likes you because he doesn't have proper passport and doesn't have proper origin.

Therefore he according to tribal nationalists and racists doesn't deserve ....despite he had fought everyone they had put in the ring vs him, even had agreed with clauses.

Nothing wrong, for tribal nationalists and racists he always will be bad and it is best title belt man might have.
 
Usyk is de facto undisputed champion of world in boxing HW division. This is real life.
Usyk was de facto undisputed champion also in pro boxing CW division as Lineal and The Ring champ plus IBF, WBO, WBC and WBA world champion.
He might had also IBO belt if Briedis had agreed to pay sanctoning fees for this org.
Usyk doesn't have proper passport and origin for a lot of boxing fans, clients for promotions. However Usyk is Olympic Gold medalist and over the hill uncle Usyk is de facto in reality undisputed champion of world in HW division.
This is real life today.
