It does not look good nor professional on part of Usyk to see him dancing at a concert when he claims his wrist is injured and he cannot commit to defending his titles against Parker. The fact of the matter is that Parker is desperate to get in to the ring with Usyk whereas Usyk is not signing a contract as the WBO want and seems to be avoiding him.
Parker is the last of the real solid experienced boxers in the heavyweight division that Usyk did not fight. Parker is a former heavyweight champion, he believes he will win the fight and is desperate for another heavyweight title fight. What is Usyk doing?
Not gonna lie, Usyk’s PR team taking an L here – dancing while claiming a wrist injury is asking for memes. But let’s keep it real - the guy’s been fighting top dogs back-to-back, he’s earned a breather. Usyk doesn’t fear anyone at heavyweight - man outboxed AJ twice and schooled Fury. He’s one of the few guys who actually plays it straight in this sport, unlike a certain Gypsy King we all know...
That said, a WBO mando is a mando, sooner or later he’s gotta either sign the contract or cough up the belt. Parker’s been looking sharp lately, earned his shot, and that fight would be a proper scrap.
