Sergey Lapin, team leader of WBC, WBA and IBF heavyweight champion Alexander Usik, shared news about the fight with former champion Deontay Wilder. A representative of the Ukrainian boxer confirmed that active negotiations are currently underway regarding their meeting in the ring and promised several unexpected moments related to the fight. “Negotiations are ongoing on several fronts, and the level of interest in this fight in the United States was higher than many expected. In the near future the picture will become clearer, a balanced decision will be made, and it is quite possible that there will be some interesting surprises. Fight in the USA?

First of all, it all depends on the number of spectators - the larger the arena, the better. Scale matters. The historical significance of the venue is also important and adds weight to the event, but the key factor remains the capacity of the arena and the atmosphere of a really big fight,” Lapin was quoted as saying by World Boxing News.
