Today, I watched foreign media report a news, that is, Usyk said in an interview with the media that if he defeats Tyson Fury, he may choose to return to the welterweight division. In doing so, Joshua lost his chance for revenge. So what does Usyk's statement mean? It means that the situation in heavyweight boxing can change a lot. We all know that there used to be a big three in heavyweight boxing, and now it is also the era of the big three, but from the original Wilder, Joshua and Tyson Fury, to the current Tyson Fury, Usyk and Joshua.
If Usyk chooses to return to the welterweight division, there may be only two giants left in the heavyweight division, namely Tyson Fury and Joshua. This situation will definitely not last long, because if there are only two giants in heavyweight boxing, there will be a lot less to watch, so there will definitely be another giant. In this way, there will be more possibilities for heavyweight fights. And who will be the candidate for this heavyweight new giant? Judging by Wilder's media interviews, it seems that he has a good chance of becoming the new heavyweight giant.
Because he's a former WBC Heavyweight World Champion with a huge media profile and a sizable fan base around the world, he could be the next heavyweight giant. But he also faces challenges, such as a challenge against Zhang Zhilei on June 1, if he loses to Zhang Zhilei in the match on June 1, then the next heavyweight giant may become Zhang Zhilei, because from the current heavyweight boxing situation, only Zhang Zhilei's style of play is more ornamental, like Parker, Dubois and Hrgovic, their matches are relatively less enjoyable.
And the older generation of players of the caliber like De Lian White and Chesola do not seem to have much market appeal, and the fan attention and media attention are not enough. Therefore, who is the new heavyweight boxing giant in the future will be the focus of media attention and the focus of fans. After all, once Usyk returns to the welterweight division, there will be a lot less spectacle and suspense in the heavyweight division.
Of course, there may be some new faces emerging in the heavyweight division who come with huge media attention. For example, Jack Paul, who faced Tyson on July 20, and Nganno, who just lost to Joshua, may return to heavyweight boxing in the future and become the focus of fans' attention. Therefore, personal attention will be on who will become the next heavyweight boxing giant. Is it Zhang Zhilei, Wilder, Parker, Hrgovic or other dark horse players? Let's wait and see!
