Back to the present , it’s looking like the wbo will hold firm and strip usyk of his title if he doesn’t fighter parker next .
Then we could have parker v ? For the title.
No doubt Hearn will,use AJs commercial value as a selling point , Frank may push for Moses itauma the promising 19 year old . ( that fight scares me ,that kid looks destined for greatness )
Or interestingly on the wbo rankings , parker is the interim champion , and justis Huni is the number 1 contender . A trans Ta$man world title fight would be massive in this part of the world .
But I suspect usyk may opt for parker and then Dubois should he win , and retire with all the belts as his plan .
Yeah Huni would be set up for Parker if it went vacant. An easy night for Parker if it happened. Huni's chin is suspect, and lacks pop for a HW.
It doesn't really matter what Usyk does from now on in honesty. He's conquered boxing.

For sure, agree with both points .
There was talk if Joe fights usyk we could see huni v Moses on the same card. Huni gets destroyed there .
End of the day it might depend on what turki wants , so far his influence on matching up fighters has been on point.

Huni has very good offence skills.. excellent combos and body work - similar to Kabayel
The big question with Huni is defense and punch resistance...he doesn't just get hurt he gets scrambled and has yet to step up to elite level- which really makes a mockery of his WBO ranking unrealistically high. Hunis team need to match him intelligently so he can make a title challenge happen before that chin is exposed -

Agreed.
What more can he do except risk tarnishing his legacy a bit ?

Watch again.
Definitely someone else hitting the bag.
Not that I would have mentioned that out loud to Foreman !
