Promoter: If Usyk beats Bellew, the next bouts will be against the top heavyweights

Alexander Krasyuk, the promoter of the undisputed cruiserweight champion Alexander Usyk (15-0, 11 KOs), spoke about the details of the deal with the promotional company Matchroom Boxing of Eddie Hearn.

"It’s not Alexander Usyk signed a contract with Eddie Hearn, but the head of the promotional company" K2 Promotion Ukraine "Alexander Krasyuk signed a contract on co-promotion of Alexander Usyk with Eddie Hearn and his promotional company Matchroom Boxing.

“This contract has already been signed not only by me and Eddie, but also by Alexander Usyk himself, as well as his manager Egis Klimas. But it starts from the moment of Alexander Usyk’s fight, presumably with Tony Bellew, which will be on November 10.

“Presumably, the number of fights and the duration of the contract will depend on how Alexander will perform against Bellew. If everything goes well for Usyk, then he will fight next in the heavyweights where there are top fighters of Eddie Hearn's promoter company like Derek Chisora, Dillian White, Joseph Parker and... Anthony Joshua."
