Sergey Lapin, team leader of WBC, WBA and IBF world heavyweight champion Alexander Usik, shared his opinion about the possibility of a fight against WBO champion Fabio Wardley.

The representative of the Ukrainian boxer emphasized that they do not exclude the possibility of such a fight if the Briton can confirm his competitiveness at the highest level, and the fight will be for the title of absolute champion.

" To become a three-time undisputed heavyweight champion of the world would be something historic, and Alexander is always motivated to take on the biggest challenges.

At the same time, we do not base our plans around one name or the outcome of the battle. There are several strong contenders in the division and we are targeting the biggest and most significant fights available.

If this is Fabio Wardley, then the fight could be for the title of absolute champion. If Agit Kabayel, then this will most likely be a mandatory defense. But we're not getting too far ahead of ourselves. Now we are waiting for a fight with Rico Verhoeven, all our attention is on him,” Sky Sports quotes Lapin as saying.

Let us remind you that Wardley will defend his WBO belt against Daniel Dubois on May 9 in Manchester, and Usik will meet kickboxer Rico Verhoeven in the ring on May 23 in Giza, Egypt..

Earlier it also became known that the fight between Usik and Kabayel could be organized in Germany.
