UFC featherweight champion Alex Pereira believes the promotion will allow him to fight unified heavyweight division boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk.

"I've said before that I'd really like to have a boxing match. And I was asked with whom. Since I am a champion, I said that I want to fight Usyk, as he is also a champion. And now he has agreed to this fight.

A fight with Usyk is what I want. He's not against it either. UFC and boxing promotional companies work closely together. Therefore, I believe that this fight can take place," - quotes Pereira MMA Fighting.
