Oleksandr Usyk’s future is a vibrant one.
Heavyweight boxing at its peak has all the time been one of many sport’s most fun divisions. For the previous a number of years, a handful of huge names have stood atop the mountain, together with the long-undefeated “Gypsy King,” Tyson Fury.
Fury’s document took its first hit (34-1-1) by the hands of Ukraine’s Usyk, who defeated him through an exhilarating break up determination in Could 2024 (watch highlights). The victory saved Usky undefeated at 22-0, including the World Boxing Championship (WBC) Heavyweight crown to his resume. Going ahead, he and Fury are anticipated to rematch, however Usyk’s coach, Sergey Lapin, expects loopy potentialities afterward.
“He’s confirmed he’s the most effective of this technology and as soon as he’s retired Tyson Fury, he’ll think about his choices,” Lapin informed Betway. “Perhaps that’s dropping down in weight once more or perhaps there’s a wildcard possibility on the desk for him, be it within the boxing ring, the MMA cage, and even Conor McGregor’s Naked Knuckle Combating Championship (BKFC).
“Are you able to think about Usyk and Jon Jones preventing to show they’re the baddest man on the planet?” he continued. “Or perhaps it’s a 3rd combat with Anthony Joshua within the MMA cage. Perhaps it’s Jake Paul at Cruiserweight, though Usyk would wish to combat him with one hand behind his again although to make it honest.”
The most certainly match up of what Lapin talked about can be Paul just because it will theoretically stay within the boxing world. Paul, 27, at the moment has his palms full with two scheduled matches. First, “The Drawback Baby” will battle BKFC star, Mike Perry, in Tampa, Florida this weekend (Sat., July 20, 2024). The Perry match fills in for Paul’s initially deliberate pairing with boxing legend, Mike Tyson, who he’ll now tackle in November 2024.
