Undisputed cruiserweight champion Alexander Usyk (15-0, 11 KOs) and former cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew (30-2-1, 20 KOs) will meet in Kiev. Ukrainian promoter Alexander Krasyuk confirmed participation of the Ukrainian at the 56th WBC Congress, which will be held in Kiev from September 30 to October 7. In turn, the president of the World Boxing Council, Mauricio Suleiman, said that Tony Bellew agreed to fly to Kiev.

With greater probability, the boxers will meet in Kiev before their fight this fall in Liverpool.
