Badou Jack's manager: "A fight with Usyk makes sense"

Dmitriy Kel Jan. 6, 2025, 2:56 a.m.

Amer Abdallah, manager of former world champion in three weight categories Badou Jack, said that his ward is ready to fight against Oleksandr Usyk.

"Usyk was one of Jack's potential opponents. Alexander is not a big super heavyweight. It doesn't make much sense in a Badou fight against guys like Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua or Deontay Wilder in terms of size. But in a fight with Usyk, it makes sense.

So Usyk has always been mentioned in conversations about Badou's next fight. Now that the Bridgeway opportunity didn't work out and Usyk is set to move down to featherweight, I think it would be a great fight.

I like this opportunity. It's a legacy fight. Who wouldn't want to share the ring with Usyk?" - Abdallah told the World Boxing News website.
