Who should Usyk fight next?🤔

[treelo]

all 3 of them are credible opponents, why not have Kabayel v Parker as the undercard on Usyk-Dubois 2 and then he has a swansong fight should he be victorious

Parker and Kabayel dont seem like 2 fighters not willing to take on anymore and sit it out

Retirement.

I don’t think Parker has anything for Usyk at this stage in his career. At least Dubois might bring something different given his age and the confidence he has from the AJ fight. I think he’s gotten better since their first fight. Why not.

I won’t sleep on Parker anymore til someone makes him look weak again, but I agree. Dubois has improved just as much, younger, and smashed AJ more dominantly than anyone ever has IMO. It was just so one sided. That spoke volumes. Volumes that names like wilder, Zhang and Bakole can’t match. That said, I like both fights. No freak fights. Not Usyk’s style to take weak competitors.

Usyk himself says he'd like Dubios followed by Pereira ? The UFC dont usually com-promote but Usyk has earned the right to enquire, having all but lapped the HW division.

Pereira called him out and wanted a crossover fight. Usyk responded but only wants a "show fight" (exhibition). Would the UFC co-promote it? Probably not unless they can arrange something with Turki. They let McGregor box but Pereira isn't the superstar that he was. Let's hope it doesn't happen.

i just think he's done it all, he easily beat dubious, parker has earned a shot but i dont see him as a real threat, kabayel would be interesting but has he earned it and his profile is low

True but he has to fight one or two of these guys if he plans to continue fighting. If that means rematching Dubois then so be it. Dubois, Parker & Kabayel all have some momentum at the moment. With the paydays and exposure the Saudis are giving these fighters the size of their profile isn't a problem anymore in making these match-ups.

Usyk would box Kabayel’s head off lol. Kabayel doesn’t have the versatility, size or power to be a danger to Usyk. He’s not a one punch guy. I’d say he’s a threat to almost anyone in the division except Usyk.
