The head of the Saudi Arabian General Authority for Entertainment, Turki Al al-Sheikh, shared his dreams of fights that he would like to see in the future. One of them was a possible fight between WBC, WBO, WBA and IBO world champion Alexander Usik (23-0, 14 KOs) and the young British heavyweight of Slovak-Nigerian origin Moses Itauma (11-0, 9 KOs).

" If Alexander does not retire, this could be a highlight. Of course, I also dream of seeing Fury vs. Joshua, Crawford vs. Canelo and Inoue vs. Ball,” Al ash-Sheikh said on the Youtube channel “talkSPORT”.

Itauma, who is only 20 years old, has already impressed many in the boxing world. Last March, he scored another early victory, spectacularly winning a fight with Dan Garber at the York Hall in London..

Even Tyson Fury previously called him "

At the same time, Usik himself does not hide his intentions to become the absolute world champion in the royal division for the second time..

To do this, he plans to fight the winner of the fight between Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) and Joseph Parker (35-3, 23 KOs), in which the Briton will defend the International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt on February 22.

It should be noted that at The Ring ceremony itself, Usik made a real splash, winning three awards at the end of 2024. In particular, Alexander was named the best boxer. After the show, the Ukrainian left a message for the public, in which he reminded about the events in our country. Usyk also met with Joshua.
