“I would wait with the fight against Usyk. I know that Turki Al Sheikh is talking about this, and perhaps everything will come to that, but for me, if I were with Moses, I would say: let him have one or two more fights before climbing to the top of Everest. Let him conquer a few more peaks, and then we will be ready for the main event.

I don’t want to see a fight with Usyk. And I’m very honest about why. I want Oleksandr to leave beautifully into the sunset. I’m not saying he can’t beat him. I will never speak against Usyk in a fight with someone else — he is that special. But in my opinion, at this stage of his career, after his next fight, let him leave into the sunset,” said Atlas.
