How did you know he did, Sham? Source? I heard at one point Usyk was going to fight AJ. Usyk needs to fight a couple of warm-up fights before jumping into the elite at heavy.
On Eastside Die. Usyk chalenged Miller and Parker and got turned down by both. Miller got bigger things to fry with maybe a title shot. However Mippy explains Joe's reticence to fight Usyk, a no win situation. Although you might consider that beating a unified cruiser champ might have its merits on the rankings.
Bart has a decent lineup, except Browne is done n dusted on the rankings and a win against him mightnt do much for Joe. But then Joe is sort of in the same place as Usyk is, no real reward with the risk ratio.
