British promoter Eddie Hearn spoke out about unified champion Oleksandr Usyk.

According to the functionary, only the IBF title holder in the first heavy division, Jay Opetaya, is able to compete with the Ukrainian.

“Jay is committed to the cruiserweight title, but I think we need to follow Usik’s example.

This guy was the best cruiserweight and then rose to win the undisputed heavyweight title..

We are focusing all our attention on titles in our weight category, but in the foreseeable future, we will compete with Usyk for the championship belt in the heavyweight division. I believe that Jay is the only one who is capable of giving Usyk a fight over the next 12-18 months,” Hearn quotes talkSPORT.

Earlier, Itauma assessed the possibility of a fight with Usyk.
