Derevyanchenko: "I would like to see a rematch between Usyk and Dubois"

Former Ukrainian middleweight title challenger Serhiy Derevyanchenko shared his thoughts on the future of absolute world champion in the super heavyweight division compatriot Oleksandr Usyk.
.

"I don't know about the cruiserweight division. Usyk and moved from there to super heavyweights, because there was no one to box with. He won everything there and became the absolute champion. Despite the fact that Usyk also defeated Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and Daniel Dubois in the heavyweight division, I don't think it makes sense for him to return to the cruiserweight division. That's my opinion.

Whether to finish his career, he will decide for himself. If Usyk has had enough of boxing and doesn't want to continue, it's his right. If he stays and shows such fights as before, it will be very good for boxing in general and Ukraine.
.

Of course, I, as a viewer, wanted to see more of his fights. For example, a rematch against the same Dubois. Their first meeting turned out to be spectacular. Plus there's that below the belt story. There is also Zhang Zhilei and many other interesting super heavyweights", - Derevyanchenko believes.
