Is Usyk ducking Kabayel like Bowe ducked Lewis?

Original YouTube description

Is Oleksandr Usyk ducking Agit Kabayel like Riddick Bowe ducked Lennox Lewis? Heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk has completely shaken up the boxing landscape by announcing that he is vacating his remaining alphabet titles: the WBC, WBA, and IBF. With Usyk planning a final career bout, this unprecedented move avoids freezing the heavyweight division, but it leaves boxing fans asking one major question: Is Usyk ducking Agit Kabayel like Riddick Bowe supposedly ducked Lennox Lewis? In this episode of Rummy's Corner, we dive deep into the modern 4-belt era politics, the financial reality of expensive sanctioning fee "vigs," and why Daniel Dubois holding the WBO title doesn't change the true lineage. We also explore the historic parallels of the 1992 Riddick Bowe vs Lennox Lewis contract dispute, Bowe famously dumping his WBC belt in a trash can, and why—despite holding zero alphabet trinkets—Oleksandr Usyk remains the one and only TRUE Lineal Heavyweight Champion of the world. As Ring Magazine co-founder Nat Fleischer always insisted, world championships can only be won and lost inside the ring! #Boxing #OleksandrUsyk #RiddickBowe #LennoxLewis #HeavyweightBoxing #RummysCorner #UsykKabayel #DanielDubois #BoxingHistory This episode of Rummy's Corner was written, narrated, and produced by Geoffrey Ciani (aka - Rummy)
