How many Usyk legacy fights left at the highest level of boxing — world championship professional boxing? We think there is a few.
At least two or maybe at most three.
Usyk has said that he wants to box on and now without his old small timer promoter from the Ukraine he is free to sign with some proper, much bigger and much better promoter soon, a proper large corporation or someone else. Good riddance to the old and roll on the new now for Usyk. Well deserved. That was overdue.
Talks suggest he will sign with TKO and Zuffa Boxing in many places in digital media at the moment. But that is not confirmed at all.
If it does happen though that is huge. Not just for Usyk but for the entire division and the entire sport.
Crucially now as well for TKO and Zuffa Boxing as well is that Usyk speaks much better English than he did before a few years ago. Usyk is one of the biggest personalities and characters not only in all of the entire sport of boxing. But in all of professional sport.
Now that he speaks English much better and is by all accounts due to fight big American name for WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder in America this summer things will really happen.
The Usyk star can be properly born and hugely grown now. Shoulder programming and documentaries on the life and training of Usyk and much more English-speaking interviews with the likes of Paramount Plus, Meta, UFC Fight Pass and others can also be done as well if he signs.
Usyk is the heavyweight champion of the world at the end of the day and that means a lot. He’s also for us the best pound for pound boxer on the planet now that Terence Crawford has retired.
That combination is big for boxing and all of sport as well. If this is done right over his next three fights Usyk will go to crazy heights of fame and success the likes of which he and boxing have not seen in some time for a heavyweight champion.
The UFC and Zuffa Boxing and TKO are intelligent enough to see all this that can be used for them and boxing as well. The opportunity is there.
Every fight he is in will be legacy fight and he’s still undefeated and undisputed. After all this time.
After all these years. After battering all those opponents in countries all around the world.
He’s still here.
Still the best.
Still undefeated and undisputed.
If he fights and beats Wilder and does the same another two times against people like Tyson Fury or Moses Itauma or someone else that is very dangerous or a big name his legacy of one of the best boxers of all time will only be solidified even further.
