After usyk wins this tournament he will be on the p4p list and should move up to hw and start schooling everyone there.

Usyk will have has first fight at HW in approximately December 2018. Keep in mind according to WBO rules if the Champ moves up to another division then he is immediate mandatory to the WBO Champ there. So Usyk would be immediate mandatory to Joshua/Parker. Joshua/Parker vs Usyk might happen in late 2019.

No, make that "utterly" boring. I noticed that Briedis is very capable of turning any fight into a hug-and-hold snorefest.

Also Usyk would definitely outclass and beat Wilder & Parker out of the current Champs.

I agree They’re too slow and robotic for usyk.

I think he'll give usyk more trouble than peeps think

Joshua vs Usyk would be a very marketable fight in 2019/20. Both London Olympic Gold medalists, both soon to be Undisputed Champs in their divisions and both national heroes.
