The International Boxing Federation (IBF) is unlikely to postpone the next fight of Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) against Filip Hrgovic (16-0, 13 KOs), is sure promoter Eddie Hearn. According to the British, the IBF will not make concessions to the Ukrainian because of his potential fight with Tyson Fury for the title of absolute champion in the heavyweight division.

"I believe that now, with the upcoming Tyson Fury fight, it will be difficult to get a postponement. We realize that the Usyk - Fury fight is a big event, but the Croatian has been waiting for this moment for a long time. He really wants to get the opportunity to fight for the championship, so there are enough reasons to talk," Hearn said on the air of Youtube channel BoxingSocial.

As reported OBOZREVATEL, on August 26, Usyk met with Daniel Dubois and defeated him in the 9th round, when the Briton missed a heavy blow to the head. In total, Alexander hit his opponent with 88 punches to the body and head.

In the 5th round the British boxer hit our compatriot below the belt. Usyk took 5 minutes to recover, lying in the ring.

Some time later there was video evidence that Dubois hit Usyk below the belt on purpose.

Usyk's catman Anber later came to the Sky Sports studio, where he laid out this episode in the Ukrainian's fight point by point, citing undeniable facts of foul play.

The World Boxing Association (WBA) has issued a statement on the Oleksandr-Daniel fight scandal. The World Boxing Council (WBC) has also made a similar move.
