Lapin: "Usyk is running out of challenges at heavyweight"

Sergey Lapin, team director of the unified world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, spoke about the further career plans of the Ukrainian.

"Usyk is running out of challenges in heavyweight boxing. Right now we're aiming for a rematch with Fury, and then we'll see who the next opponent will be. Perhaps Alexander will move down in weight, or move to MMA, or even fist fights. Can you imagine Usyk fighting Jon Jones for the title of the most dangerous guy on the planet? Or a third fight against Anthony Joshua in the MMA cage? Perhaps Usyk will fight Jake Paul, but then Sasha will keep one hand behind his back to keep the fight fair," The Mirror quoted Lapin as saying.

Usyk is expected to rematch Tyson Fury on December 21.
