Comments Thread For: Hearn: Usyk-Takam Not Done Yet; Not Sure It's Going To Take Place

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Oleksandr Usyk's heavyweight debut continues to be a work in progress. The 2018 Fighter of the Year and unbeaten former World cruiserweight champion is due to return to the ring this fall after recovering from a torn biceps injury earlier this year. It killed plans for the Ukrainian southpaw to test the heavyweight waters this past May, where he was due to face veteran heavyweight contender Carlos Takam on May 25 in Oxon Hill, Md.

I thought this got announced yesterday. Now its maybe not a go. Wtf.

Its definitely a pretty ideal HW debut fight for Usyk so kinda rooting on it being the fight for him to get his feet wet in the division.

Who cares if Takam signed with Joe DeGuardia? I thought Hearn worked with everybody?

[Bronx2245]

Is Junior Fa any good? Does Joseph Parker have a fight lined up?

[Ajvar]

Parker - Usyk please. And we will say bye-bye to Usyk/

If not Takam, then let it be the guy that knocked out Takam, Chisora.
