Usyk: "We can consider the option of fighting Pereira in the octagon"

Dmitriy Kel March 18, 2025, 7:09 a.m.

Unified heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk has spoken out again about a possible fight with former UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira.

"Yes, I would be interested, but only after a fight with Daniel Dubois to unify our belts. We can consider the option of fighting in the octagon. This is a joke, but in every joke there is a grain of truth," - said the Ukrainian in an interview with Al Arabiya English.

Recall that in early March, Pereira lost his belt, losing on points to Magomed Ankalaev.
