Alexander Krasyuk said that the future of Alexander Usik (23-0, 14 KOs) depends on his own decisions. WBC, WBO, WBA and IBO champion promoter admitted in heavyweight that his client intends to relax in the near future, and in the future he will decide what to do next in his career.
Krasyuk also commented on rumors about the possible transition of Usik to Kruzerevyt, noting that this remains one of the options.
" This is reasonable? I don't know, it's hard to say. But Usik never took reasonable steps, and from the very beginning of his career, no one believed that he could become something significant. I became his promoter from the first battle, and after the fourth battle I heard people said that Usyk was not something special. Then he was the top 10, but one of the organizations could easily defeat him. And now we see that he has become the absolute champion in Cruyzerweight and the absolute champion in heavyweight. So you should not rely on someone's opinion, ”Krasyuk said on the YouTubue channel“ Ring Magazine ”.
When it came to possible rivals, Krasyuk expressed preference to Joseph Parker in the case of a revenge with Daniel Dubois if he defeats Parker or another contender.
" Daniel has a powerful blow, and this can be a decisive moment in battle, but I believe that the parker has enough boxing IQ to win, ”the Ukrainian promoter noted.
Earlier, the promoter Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KO) Frank Warren, said that Usyk supposedly intended for the second time to become the absolute world champion in the Royal Division. To do this, he plans to fight with the winner of the battle Dubois - Parker.
Usik was already the owner of all the divisions belts when Tyson Fury defeated last year (34-2-1, 24 KOs). However, our compatriot was forced to abandon the IBF title for a revenge with a gypsy king. The trophy eventually went to Dubois, who knocked out Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs).
Recall that Alexander defeated Daniel with a technical knockout in the ninth round in August 2023, and the Briton was marked by a dirty blow below the belt.
