Re: Usyk - Dubois Rematch July 19 Undisputed Heavyweight, Wembley, London
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.
Why not grant himself one last big check?
With Fury it seems to be easy money for Usyk, than fighting against Parker. In boxing world Tyson Fury means more money, more popular, even though he has lost his last fights. And like TravelMug said, Usyk already beat him twice, Fury has low morale now or Usyk already got in his head. Parker is still hungry, so why fight him? Imagine what revenue would be, it it would be a double retirement fight, last fight for Usyk and Fury. Set any ticket price and it will be sold in no time
