"He wants to fight again, but..." It became known what will happen next with Usyk's career

Oleksandr ChekanovNews
Al Sheikh revealed Usyk's plans

The unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) has not yet decided on his plans after his victory in the rematch with Tyson Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs). Our compatriot is closely monitoring what is happening in the division and will make a final decision on his career at the end of February.

This was announced in an interview with the Froch on Fighting YouTube channel by the head of the Saudi General Authority for Entertainment, Turki Al Sheikh. According to him, Usyk intends to fight one or two more fights before retiring, but everything can change.

"I think Daniel Dubois deserves a rematch with him. For the title of absolute world champion. Usyk told me that he wants to fight again, but he wants to decide after the results of the fights in February. He wants to see the February card and then make a decision. He said that he wants to organize one or two more fights with me," said the most respected boxing match organizer in the world today.

It should be noted that on February 22, Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) will fight New Zealander Joseph Parker (35-3; 23 KOs). On the same night, German heavyweight Agit Kabayel (25-0, 17 KOs) will fight Chinese giant Zhang Zhilei  (27-2-1, 22 KOs).

Earlier, Dubois challenged Usyk when he appeared in the ring after the Ukrainian's victory in a rematch over Fury. Daniel later explained his action.

We'd like to remind you that Oleksandr defeated Daniel by TKO in the ninth round, and the Briton scored with a dirty punch below the belt.

In turn, British boxer Frazer Clark (8-1-1, 6 KOs) called on the Ukrainian to end his career. And the bookmakers named Dubois – Parker as the favorite of the fight.

As OBOZ.UA previously reported, Oleksandr Usyk made a splash in London by winning three awards from The Ring magazine. After the ceremony, the Ukrainian champion made a statement to the boxing community.

Manager Egis Klimas told when our boxer plans to return to the ring. Artificial intelligence has already predicted the Ukrainian's fight.
