Next fight of Oleksandr Usyk is not determined yet.
Perhaps in the near future we will witness the fight for the vacant (or temporary) WBO heavyweight belt between Oleksandr Usyk (17-0, 13 KOs) and Joseph Parker (26-2, 20 KOs). According to David Higgins, the promoter from New Zealand, although Usyk is higher in the rankings of the World Boxing Organization, Parker should get a larger percentage of the total purse for the fight.
Joseph Parker (26-2, 20 KOs) said that, as soon as the opportunity arose, he'd be ready to fight for the WBO heavyweight belt against Oleksandr Usyk (17-0, 13 KOs). The title of the World Boxing Organization belongs to Anthony Joshua (23-1, 21 KOs) now, who, however, may soon vacate this trophy.
In an interview to Sky Sports IBF representative said that the team of Anthony Joshua (23-1, 21 KOs) and Kubrat Pulev (28-1, 14 KOs) should determine the organizational details of the battle for the heavyweight title by 31 January.
Eddie Hearn in an interview to Sky Sports said that the nearest possible date for a fight between Derek Chisora (32-9, 23 KOs) and Oleksandr Usyk (17-0, 13 KOs) was 28 March.
In a few days a deadline comes, when the team of Anthony Joshua (23-1, 21 KOs) must agree on the organization of fights with Oleksandr Usyk and Kubrat Pulev. The Ukrainian is the official challenger for the WBO heavyweight title, while the Bulgarian is the official challenger for IBF.
