Oleksandr Usyk secured another successful defense of his WBA, WBO, and IBF heavyweight titles by achieving a ninth-round TKO victory over Daniel Dubois last night in Wroclaw, Poland. Let's look at Usyk's five potential opponents!
Daniel Dubois, feeling disappointed after his loss, chose not to attend the post-match press conference last night. His team has expressed their intention to advocate for a no contest decision due to a contentious low blow call in his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.
The fight everyone desires in the combat sports world, including Oleksandr Usyk, is a match against WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. Despite his win over Dubois, Usyk expressed his determination to face Fury whenever the opportunity arises.
Deontay Wilder is being considered as a potential challenger for Oleksandr Usyk, following the breakdown of discussions for a match against Tyson Fury.
The winner of the Zhilei Zhang vs. Joe Joyce rematch, set for September, could become Usyk's next mandatory challenger, considering that the victor will hold the WBO interim championship.
Usyk could fight Andy Ruiz Jr with their The Ring Heavyweight Champion, IBF World Heavyweight Champion, WBO World Heavyweight Champion, WBA Super World Heavyweight Champion titles on the line.
