One of the team members of the IBF, WBA and WBO world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) Sergey Lapin spoke about the plans of the Ukrainian for the next year, critically evaluating his potential rivals.

“Usyk has recovered from his second fight with Anthony Joshua, keeps in shape, and does charity work. He is also waiting for Tyson Fury to finally find the courage to go into the ring with him. While Fury fights Derek Chisora ​​for the third time, choosing easy fights. Who likes his December clash?" Lapin said.

“There is also talk about Usyk's fight with Deontay Wilder. Usyk is not afraid of Wilder. In the recent fight between Deontay and Robert Helenius, I did not notice anything new. Wilder is a very simple boxer. He hits hard and compensates for the lack of technique," Lapin added.

“Usika’s main goal next year is to fight Fury for all the championship belts. If that doesn’t happen, I hope we have other interesting fights ahead of us. Alexander can also return to the first heavyweight, but only for the sake of the fight with Saul Alvarez, ”Lapin summed up the topic.
