Usyk vs Simmons on 23/04/2016 in Kiev

Post by Artem »

According to K2 Ukraine Usyk next opponent will be Stephen Simmons (14-1, 6 KO). Another fight that gives nothing to Usyk's career. Fourth mismatch in a row.

Usyk needed a fight to stay busy. Glowacki-cunningham winner will be ordered to fight Usyk (if he beats Simmons) in 90 days after their fight in the US.
So it is pretty safe to assume that Usyk will fight for the WBO belt sometime in the summer or early fall.

I understand this, but I think that last 3 Usyk fight and possible fight with Simmons, don't give necessary expeirance for possible title fight. I just want to see Usyk against better opposition))

Bit of a mismatch this one.

He's in desperate need of a big fight in the summer after this.
