On May 23 in London, if pandemic coronavirus allows, former undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (17-0, 13 KOs) will fight Derek Chisora (32-9, 23 KOs). For the undefeated Ukrainian a confrontation with hard hitting Del Boy should be the last test before fighting for a world title in the royal division against Anthony Joshua or Kubrat Pulev.

"The duel against Chisora ​​is a great challenge for me," Usyk said. "I do not feel like a heavyweight still, but I'll be ready, as always."

"Boxing is my inspiration. We will give with Chisora ​​a spectacular performance for the audience. I love British fans, because they understand boxing. That's why I'm always happy to back there!"  Usyk added.

According to bookmakers, the Ukrainian is a favorite in Usyk vs Chisora ​​confrontation. Average odds for Usyk is 1.17 and 5.55 on Chisora.
