So the big question is whether Usyk is interested in fighting Parker (Parker definitely is) or would he prefer to vacate the WBO belt and fight someone else.
I think Usyk would rather retire than take an easy fight against this mandatory challenger. Honestly, Fury is a much tougher opponent than Parker, and that’s who he’s facing next. Since Usyk has hinted at retirement before, I wouldn’t be surprised if he decides to hang up his gloves soon , there’s really no one left in the division who can truly challenge him.
Fury is much tougher opponent? Usyk already beat him twice and most likely the trilogy will be just the same result. Although I think this is going to happen as the money involved here is huge as compare to Usyk risking more on a opponent like Parker. So I doubt that he will retire after the Dubois fight, yes he is hinting on doing that, but a 3rd fight with Fury make sense money wise. And after winning, then maybe he would seriously considering hanging up the gloves for good and retire as the best Heavyweight of this era. Not sure how he will rank amongst the GOAT though. But my cleaning up the division and going up from Crusierweight, there's no denying that he could be up on the list because of his accomplishments.
