The team of Oleksandr Usyk is working to ensure that the unification of heavyweight belts takes place
Alexander KrasyukWBO/WBA/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion promoter Oleksandr Usyksaid that the Ukrainian team continues to work to fight for the title of absolute world champion in heavyweight against the holder of the WBC belt Tyson Fury.
“It is our duty to fight this fight. The whole world wants to see this fight. Not just us or the people involved in boxing, but the whole world.”
“People who don’t know anything about boxing would love to see an undisputed heavyweight fight for four belts for the first time in the four belt era. I can promise fans around the world that I will do everything in my power to make this fight happen.”
Recall that the unification fight between Usyk and Fury was scheduled for April 2023, but it did not take place. According to the Gypsy King, this happened because of the financial requirements of the Ukrainian.
Previously Usyk signed a contract with Skill Challenge Entertainment from Saudi Arabia. The Ukrainian believes that this cooperation will help organize the fight with Fury. A new potential date for the face-to-face meeting between Tyson and Alexander is January 27, 2024.
Usyk will defend his titles against WBA mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois. The fight will take place on August 26 in Wroclaw, Poland, at the 40,000-seat Tarczynski Arena. The championship fight will be shown by the MEGOGO media service.
On the undercard of the Usyk-Dubois fight, WBO International lightweight champion Denis Berinchyk, Dmitry Mitrofanov, Yaroslav Khartsyz, Vasily Chebotar, Fedor Cherkashin, Daniel Lapin and others will enter the ring.
