Krasyuk: Either Joshua fights Usyk, or fights Fury without a WBO belt

Andrew Karlov June 17, 2020, 7:49 a.m.

In the coming months Oleksandr Usyk (17-0, 13 KOs) will have to meet Derek Chisora (32-9, 23 KOs) in his second fight in the heavyweight category. If the Ukrainian wins, his team is ready to forth a duel against Anthony Joshua (23-1, 21 KOs) as the WBO contender. Usyk said that he would not wait for the outcome of two fights planned for next year of AJ and WBC champion Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs).

“Usyk had to fight Joshua before Pulev,” Alexander Krasyuk the promoter of Usyk said in an interview to Sky Sports. "We made a concession, we agreed to a duel of AJ against Pulev, and we took the fight against Chisora. However, we did this on condition that Joshua or Pulev later fulfill their obligations to defend the title against Usyk.”

“That's why now [after Pulev] Joshua will either fight Usyk, or will fight Fury without WBO belt,” Krasyuk said.
