Unified heavyweight champion Alexander Usik (23-0, 14 KOs) will now become a tasty opponent for many boxers in different divisions. Our compatriot, after four victories over Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) and Tyson Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs), became the main star that generates large fees.

This is the opinion in an interview with the Sport portal. ua expressed by former world light heavyweight champion Alexander Gvozdyk (20-2, 16 KOs). The Kharkov resident emphasized that now Usik can make any decisions regarding his career and further cement his name in the history of boxing.

" If Sasha had proposed to me, I would have agreed to go out with him.. But first of all he must do what he wants. It seems to me that he has already covered some financial needs long ago. So if he goes down and becomes a 3-time overall champion or gets a bridgeweight title, then that's cool. If he adds one more regalia, then that's very good. He will cement his name even deeper in boxing history,” Gvozdyk said..

Earlier, the legendary Evander Holyfield named one mistake that the Ukrainian boxer is close to and which he should not make. Alexander himself told what he plans to do after finishing his boxing career.

Usik has also decided on his next opponent in the professional ring and the weight category in which he will compete. At the same time, he received a sensational offer to hold a championship fight in Ukraine in a new division.

In addition, Briton Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) threatened the Ukrainian with revenge and called for a rematch, despite the fact that he has yet to fight Joseph Parker (35-3, 23 KOs).

Let us recall that Alexander defeated Daniel by technical knockout in the ninth round in August 2023, and the Briton scored with a dirty blow below the belt. Chairman of Saudi Arabia's General Authority for Entertainment Turki Al al-Sheikh announced his intention to organize a rematch between the British and Ukrainian.

Manager Egis Klimas told when Alexander plans to return to the ring. Artificial intelligence has already made a forecast for the Ukrainian’s fight.
