Oleksandr Usyk beat Tyson Fury again in their second heavyweight battle. The Ukrainian champion won by unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring the fight 116-112 in his favor. Usyk kept his unified heavyweight titles after the tightly-fought 12-round clash.
This victory came just months after Usyk's win over Fury in May. The rematch proved Usyk's dominance in the heavyweight division, leaving fans to wonder what's next for both fighters.
Legendary boxing trainer Teddy Atlas shared his thoughts on Usyk's future on his podcast, "The Fight With Teddy Atlas." Atlas thinks Usyk should hang up his gloves now.
"Usyk should retire. It's perfect timing. He's fought everybody, made a ton of money, accomplished everything, and represented his country. He's great, one of the greatest, and heavyweight champion of the world."
Despite Atlas's advice, he doesn't think Usyk will actually retire. The Ukrainian boxer might have his sights set on becoming the undisputed champion again. A rematch with Daniel Dubois, the current IBF heavyweight champion, could be on the cards. Usyk already defeated Dubois in August 2023, but another win would solidify his status at the top.
As for Fury, he might be looking at an all-British showdown with Anthony Joshua. Former world champion Carl Froch has already shared his thoughts on this potential battle, adding fuel to the speculation.
Fans are now debating what could be next for both fighters. Will Usyk aim for undisputed status? Will Fury bounce back with a fight against Joshua? The heavyweight division remains as exciting as ever, with plenty of possibilities on the horizon.
