“I don’t necessarily consider the order of those fights or the names being mentioned,” Oladipo said during a discussion on his YouTube channel while examining the champion’s possible final stretch.
The unified heavyweight champion has already beaten several of the division’s biggest names, including Fury and Dubois, which complicates the concept of closing his profession with rematches which have already produced clear results.
Oladipo questioned whether a 3rd meeting with Dubois would generate much interest, given the end result of their previous fights.
“If Dubois wins, we don’t need to see a trilogy if you’ve stopped him in the primary two fights,” Oladipo said. “It makes absolutely no sense.”
The analyst also expressed limited enthusiasm for an additional Fury meeting despite acknowledging the financial appeal. Their first two bouts were major events, but Oladipo suggested the closing stretch of Usyk’s profession can be more compelling if it featured opponents he has not already faced.
“If that is the last lap of what’s been an incredible run from Usyk, can the last lap not be against fighters we haven’t seen him in with before?” Oladipo said.
Money could ultimately steer the direction of those final bouts no matter what has been proposed publicly. A 3rd fight with Fury would easily generate the biggest revenue among the many available options, something Oladipo acknowledged could override other sporting considerations.
“Money talks, and Tyson Fury’s money,” he said while discussing why the matchup keeps resurfacing.
Usyk’s three-fight outline offers a glimpse into how the champion imagines his final act. Oladipo believes the heavyweight marketplace will ultimately resolve what actually happens once negotiations begin and contenders start pushing their cases.
