As promised to the Ukrainian team, the champion will start defending his own heavyweight titles.
Oleksandr Usyk will defend his own heavyweight titles. This was confirmed by the promoter of Ukrainian boxer Alexander Krasyuk.
According to the functionary, he will start holding meetings in accordance with the agreements between the organizations. And this means that the first possible opponent is Briton Daniel Dubois, who is a contender for the WBA belt.
“Frank Warren and I spoke. Both came to the conclusion that it was time to end the negotiations on the fight between Usyk and Fury.
We decided this week to begin negotiations on the fight with Dubois. This is the most likely opponent, but it all depends on his state of health. It all depends on whether he is ready to fight.
You remember that in his last fight, he injured his knee. And there was a serious injury,” Krasyuk said in a commentary on iFL TV.
At the same time, Usik’s promoter does not rule out that if it is impossible to fix the fight with Dubois, they will switch to Croat Filip Hrgovic, an IBF contender.
Earlier, Alexander Krasyuk spoke about difficulties in negotiations with Tyson Fury.
