The Ukrainian will defend his belt.
Sergey Lapin, one of the team members of the unified world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs), shared his opinion about the possible next opponent of his ward.
According to the specialist, the team hopes that the Ukrainian will fight Tyson Fury. If it is not possible to organize a duel, Usyk will enter the ring with Daniel Dubois, who is the mandatory contender for the belt owned by Alexander.
“I think the WBA requirement for Usyk to fight Daniel Dubois will not be an obstacle to arranging the fight for the undisputed championship between Usyk and Tyson Fury, which we all want to see.”

“We hope nothing gets in the way of this fight, but the chance to fight Dubois will be a backup plan in case the Fury fight goes ahead. Although it’s not something boxing fans want to see in 2023,” leading words Lapin Vegas Insider.
Note that in his last two fights, the Ukrainian boxer defeated Anthony Joshua. After the rematch, Usyk announced his desire to fight Tyson Fury for the title of absolute division champion.
It was previously reported that Usyk’s coach assessed Ward’s chances in the fight against Fury.
