Alexandr Ormanji Dec. 2, 2025, 3:12 a.m.

Oleksandr Usyk, the heavyweight world champion by WBA, WBC, and IBF, has named the fight that truly interests him. The Ukrainian wants to fight Deontay Wilder.

“I will continue to fight. I think, next year. I want to fight Deontay Wilder. I find it interesting. He was a world champion, a very famous and strong guy. He is one of the greatest heavyweights of the last decade. We haven't talked to Wilder's team yet — I am saying this for the first time. Exclusive information. We discussed this with my team, and Wilder is number one on the list. In fact, he's the only one I'm interested in.”
