Egis Klimas confirmed that negotiations on organizing a revenge between Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KO) and Alexander Usik (19-0, 13 KO) haven't started yet. The Ukrainian is now in New York, where he will support Vasily Lomachenko in a duel with Richard Commey.
“Eddie Hearn is silent, we have not received any proposals yet. We are ready for battle in March-April, ”said Usyk's manager.
The lack of negotiations on this point indicates that fans may have to wait for the second fight between the Briton and the Ukrainian until May or June next year. In recent weeks, the media even started talking about a possible unification duel between Usyk and Tyson Fury, but it looks like the Briton will cross gloves with Dillian White in his next performance in the ring.
The first Joshua-Usyk fight took place in September in London. The Ukrainian defeated the Briton on points, taking away his heavyweight belts according to the IBF, WBA and WBO versions.
