The WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion spoke about his next fight.
Oleksandr Usyk is ready to face any boxer to defend his championship belt. According to the Ukrainian boxer, his next opponent is WBA contender Daniel Dubois.
At the same time, the WBA, WBO and IBF world heavyweight champion team tried to change the opponent. The Ukrainian wanted to meet this spring with IBF contender Philip Hrgovic, but it was not possible to agree to a postponement.
“The first is the WBA, it’s Dubois. We thought of boxing on April 29, but we know he has a knee injury. Then we want to make changes to the variant so that the IBF comes out first, but it was all work hours, and something didn’t happen.
Maybe it will be Dubois by the end of the summer. I’m not saying that it will happen one hundred percent, but the team is working in this direction. Both Alexander Krasyuk and Egis Klimas work in this direction.
Great plan – Britannia, Dubois. Generally a class. I’m going to Britain, I love it so much, I love it there. My first big successes were in Britain. In Liverpool there are newbies, then London, “Atamans”, then Anthony Joshua. I like this place. I like the fans, people,” Usyk said in an interview with Volodymyr Kobelkov on the Kievskiy Torte YouTube channel.
It can be remembered that Dubois had previously promised that he would defeat Usyk when they met in the ring.
