Tonight, Usyk defeated Tyson Fury, winning his WBC belt and retaining his WBA, IBF and WBO titles.
However, Usik will not remain the owner of four belts for long. According to journalist Dan Rafael, the Ukrainian will relinquish the IBF title, which will be decided during the next fight between Daniel Dubois and Filip Hrgovic.
The fight between Hrgovic and Dubois is scheduled for June 1.
The rematch between Usik and Fury is scheduled to take place in October 2024.
