He said, “I want Usyk fight these other guys, Wilder, Andy Ruiz. I want to see Usyk fight those guys. Those guys are more experienced than Joshua.”

The heavyweight division is by far the most challenging roster in boxing and Usyk will get to face the toughest of contenders, irrespective of his results. Joshua is definitely a stalwart he beat, but the Brit is known for comebacks. Hence, he may stun Usyk in a rematch.
Regardless of anything, ‘The Cat’ will look to do what he does best and maintain his unbeaten streak.
Will Oleksandr Usyk be successful against Deontay Wilder and Andy Ruiz Jr.?
In his 12-round bout against ‘AJ’, Usyk showed eye-catchy movements. Despite being a heavyweight, the southpaw boxer moved like a lightweight and he even hit powerful punches to collect his points.

That said, this strategy will work wonders for him against Wilder and Ruiz Jr. too, who won’t be used to an opponent with such graceful movements.
Hence, Usyk definitely has the skills to end up on the winning vertical if he locks horns with either of these boxers in the coming time. If not ‘AJ’, who would you like to see Usyk face next?
