Ryan has a trend of alienating his elders. He really thinks he knows more then his promoters, trainers, etc which is why the don't fukk with him.
When Oscar isn't publicly in "promoter" mode, cuts the bullshyt, and gives his honest opinion he knows what he's talking about. When Oscar is reluctant to make fights and knows a guy isn't ready, he knows what he's talking about.
Ryan and cokeboy looking like scorned lovers trying to make each other jealous online.

Oscar is responsible for some of the biggest fights in history. Promoted Floyd in some of his biggest fights, turned Canelo into the #1 star in the sport, made Ryan a star without even being a champion in what will probably the biggest fight this year. He’s the most successful boxer turned promoter, ever. 6x world champion, Olympic gold medalist and never ducked anyone.
His career/life is a real rags to riches roller coaster story for a little kid from east LA. Could be a movie. Clowns need to show more respect to the golden boy. The hate is corny and immature. Real fans know he’s boxing royalty.

Usyk-Dubois Now Set For August 26 in Wroclaw, To Align With Ukraine Independence Day

The Oleksandr Usyk-Daniel Dubois unified heavyweight title fight will now take place two weeks after its original target date.
The slight delay is for good reason. Alex Krassyuk, Usyk’s career-long promoter and head of K2 Promotions-Ukraine, revealed that the bout will now take place August 26 at Stadion Wroclaw (Tarczynski Arena Wroclaw) in Wroclaw, Poland. The switch is to align the event with Ukraine Independence Day (August 24), with a crowd of 24,000 expected in the heavily Ukrainian-populated region.
Wroclaw is home to many Ukrainians,” Krassyuk told TVP Sport. “The fight will take place at the stadium for 24,000 people. We had to change the date from August 12 to August 26. Because it is Ukraine's Independence Day. It's the perfect date to set up a fight with Dubois. We couldn't waste it.”
Usyk (20-0, 13KOs) will attempt the second defense of the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles he acquired in a September 2021 win over Anthony Joshua in North London. Their rematch last August 20 saw Usyk—a 2012 Olympic Gold medalist for Ukraine and former undisputed cruiserweight champion—earn a repeat win, though he had to settle for a strangely scored split decision to retain the titles.
His title defense versus Dubois (19-1, 18KOs) came about after collapsed talks for an undisputed championship clash versus lineal/WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24KOs). The two sides teased for months the possibility of a springtime collision, but it never came to fruition.
The WBA then ordered Usyk to enter a title consolidation clash versus London’s Dubois, who holds the WBA ‘Regular’ heavyweight title. The matter went to a May 25 purse bid hearing won by Krassyuk with a massive bid of $8,057,000, far outpacing the $5,620,050 amount submitted by Queensberry Promotions—Dubois’ promoter—as the lone other bidder.
Usyk (20-0, 13KOs) is due $6,042,750, 75-percent of the winning bid as the WBA ‘Super’ titleholder. Dubois (19-1, 18KOs) and his team are entitled to a career-high $2,014,250 payday per the standard 25-percent as the secondary titlist fighting for a superior belt.
The winner of the fight will be the sole recognized WBA heavyweight titlist, thus eliminating the ‘Regular’ belt from existence in accordance with the sanctioning body’s ongoing title reduction campaign.
Krassyuk targeted Poland given his financial backing in the area along with the bordering nation’s increased Ukrainian population since the start of Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
The chosen venue opened its doors in 2011, fittingly with another boxing event—national hero and two-division champ Tomasz Adamek’s failed WBC heavyweight title bid versus Vitali Klitschko who won their September 2011 meeting. Usyk-Dubois marks just the fourth boxing show to take place at the outdoor stadium.
