The authoritative American sports channel ESPN believes that world champion WBC, WBO, WBA and IBO Alexander Usik (23-0, 14 KOs) will retire in 2025. The authors are confident that the Ukrainian has nothing left to prove, and there are almost no worthy opponents left for him - he has practically cleared the top of the heavy division.
The London 2012 Olympic champion defeated Anthony Joshua twice and added two wins over Tyson Fury last year..
These are four victories over two of the main stars of the prestigious division. After his latest triumph over Fury, Daniel Dubois stepped into the ring and demanded a rematch, which Usyk seems willing to accept..
“But will Usyk find the motivation for a rematch with an opponent whom he has already dominated and stopped with a jab? "
At the same time, the American expert names several interesting options for Usik.
" In addition, there is Martin Bakole or the winner of the Zhilei Zhang – Agit Kabayel fight, which will also take place in February,” notes Mike.
In support of his arguments about ending his career, Coppinger cites the following facts:.
Usik turns 38 this year, has earned nine figures in his illustrious career, and most importantly, still lives in war-torn Ukraine with his wife and children.. "
