Carl Froch delivers honest verdict on Oleksandr Usyk facing Deontay Wilder for his final fight

Published

on

Carl Froch has assessed whether Deontay Wilder, from both a financial and legacy perspective, is the right opponent for Oleksandr Usyk at this stage of his illustrious career.

The two heavyweights are in talks for a potential clash under Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing banner, with Usyk having vacated his WBC, IBF and WBA world titles.

This announcement came around a month after his encounter with Rico Verhoeven, who gave a surprisingly strong account of himself when they collided in May.

In the end, Usyk stopped the former kickboxing champion in round 11, but was made to work exceptionally hard to emerge victorious.

Perhaps realising that he is no longer the formidable force of old, the 39-year-old has since relinquished his belts and declared that he only has one fight left.

In terms of possible opponents, Wilder is seemingly the frontrunner, with the former WBC champion coming off a split decision victory over Derek Chisora in April.

Having previously scored two respective victories over Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, Usyk is yet to face the American, who would afford him the opportunity to enhance his supremacy as a modern heavyweight great.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Froch On Fighting, the Hall of Famer expressed no qualms about a showdown between Usyk and the 40-year-old Wilder.

“[Wilder’s] a big name, and he didn’t look bad against Chisora. I know Chisora and Wilder are both pretty much finished, but Wilder looked all right.

“That would be a legacy fight for Oleksandr Usyk to finish [his career and] make a right few quid. He’ll make tens of millions for a fight that, really, he’s going to be a massive favourite for.”

By vacating his WBC title, Usyk has avoided a mandated contest with Agit Kabayel and, in effect, elevated the likelihood of a Wilder fight.

14-Time WWE Champion Wants #15

Published

on

A multiple-time world champion in WWE talked about their dream of lifting a 15th world title in the promotion. The popular star also had another surprising revelation for fans.

Charlotte Flair without a doubt is one of the most accomplished female wrestlers of all time. She signed a developmental contract with WWE in 2012 and went on to become one of the pioneers of the women’s revolution in the company. Flair also made history alongside Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey, when the trio became the first set of female wrestlers to main event WrestleMania in 2019.

The Queen has also won the RAW Women’s Title (now WWE Women’s Championship) six times and the SmackDown Women’s Title (now Women’s World Championship) on seven occasions. She was also the last person to hold the Divas Title, making her a 14-time world championin WWE. Flair recently appeared for an interfiew on WFAN Radio, where she spoke about a miriad of topics.

Upon being asked if there was something that The Queen was currently working on that she wanted to tell the audience about, she brought up her tag team with best friend Alexa Bliss. She also said she would love to get her hands on a 15th world title. Curiously Falir also noted that she had never been involved in a romantic storyline in the promotion and she would love to explore such an option as well.

“So I’m in a tag team with my best friend right now Alexa Bliss. Thats been awesome special. I think if I had to do-well-I want to win number 15, that’s definitely on the list. But I’ve never been involved in like a romantic storyline or have been opposite a male character so I think that would be cool. Or I never led a group, there’s been the Four Horsewomen but we were all individuals,” Flair said.

You can check out her comments in the video below:

Despite being one of the Four Horsewomen of wrestling, The Queen also said she had never led a stable or worked opposite a male character. These were the things The Queen still wants to try in her wrestling career.


WWE Icon Charlotte Flair Sends Warning To Jade Cargill

Charlotte Flair accompanied Alexa Bliss for the latter’s singles match against Jade Cargill on last week’s edition of WWE SmackDown.

The Storm had her allies Michin and B-Fab alongside her and the trio needlessly attacked Bliss after Cargill had already won the match. Jade attacked Lil Miss Bliss with a steel chair and appeared to seriously hurt her opponent’s arm.

This made things very personal for Flair, who now seems hell bent on going after Cargill. When a fan praised The Queen for going after Ronda Rousey with a kendo stick once, Flair said that was just a last minute match but Cargill on the other hand had made things really personal.

That was just a last minute match. This bi*ch hurt my best friend. @Jade_Cargill

It remains to be seen what The Queen does next on WWE SmackDown, after Cargill injured her best friend and tag team partner.
