Famous American promoter Bob Arum commented on rumors that Oleksandr Usyk may hang the gloves on the nail.

"I can't say for sure, but I talked to his manager and my friend Egis Klimas. So Klimas in no way even hinted that Usyk might hang his gloves on a nail. Usyk is a proud guy, and in a rematch against Fury there will be a lot of money on the line. I'm sure Usyk will be in favor of the rematch.

If he still decides to end his career.... Usyk is a great man, I've known him for many years and I've been promoting his compatriot Vasyl Lomachenko since the start of his career. Lomachenko and Usyk are very close. I find it hard to believe that Usyk will end his career. Although everything is possible," Arum said in an interview with talkSPORT.

Recall that on May 18, Usyk defeated Tyson Fury by split decision and became the absolute world champion in the heavyweight division.
