The former undisputed cruiserweight champion has no plans of stepping aside from the mandatory fight with Antony Joshua, at least according to promoter Eddie Hearn. AJ is supposed to defend his IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight belts against Kubrat Pulev on December 12.

under the IBF, we have Kubrat as the mandatory challenger while Usyk falls under the WBO's mandatory challenger. All that Usyk needs to do is win against Derek Chisora before the end of the year and for AJ to do the same against Kubrat Pulev. If Usyk defeats Chisora, Hearn has promised to pursue the mandatory bout against AJ in the first half of the new year.

Eddie Hearn has made it clear that Usyk is really looking forward to fight the winner of the Joshua-Pulev fight.

I hope Anthony Joshua wins against Kubrat Pulev. I really want to see AJ go against Oleksandr Usyk.

The Aleksandr Usyk vs Dereck Chisora fight was supposed to take place in The 02 Arena. So you know it is going to be a huge fight.

If it wasn't for the pandemic, that arena would've been packed to the brim.

You only reserve The 02 Arena if you are absolutely sure it going to be sold-out. That fight was going to be epic until, you know, the fucking corona hit.

They are definitely scary as fuck! Even in movies they are always portrayed as killers and what not.

There is this video of him on youtube and he really looks scary shadow boxing. You should check it out if you haven't already, that is.

The crazy thing is that Aleksandr Usyk wants to fight Deontay Wilder more than both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

Usyk even demonstrated it by knocking out Chicago Bulls' mascot, Benny The Bull, before his fight with Chazz Witherspoon.

It was Usyk's heavyweight debut and he outclassed Chazz Witherspoon by landing 139 punches to his opponent's 21.

Hold up! that doesn't sound right. How the hell did Chazz manage to only land 21 punches when Usyk was at 139?!

I will need to watch the highlights of that fight to see for myself just what the hell Chazz Witherspoon was doing in that ring.
