Oleksandr Usyk is better placed than anyone to judge the skills of both Daniel Dubois and Anthony Joshua. The Ukrainian has beaten every man he has faced in the professional ring. A former undisputed cruiserweight turned undisputed heavyweight champion, Usyk beat Joshua in back to back fights in 2021 and 2022.

Johnny Nelson believes that Joseph Parker should be the next man to step into the ring with Oleksandr Usyk for a shot at heavyweight glory.

Tyson Fury has reacted to the news that Oleksandr Usyk has been ordered to face Joseph Parker. Usyk became undisputed heavyweight champion when he first beat Fury last May. He dropped the IBF belt to honour the rematch clause, beating the Brit again in December.

Oleksandr Usyk has been ordered by the WBO to start negotiations for a title defense against Joseph Parker amid reported talks between the Ukrainian and Daniel Dubois for a fight to become the undisputed heavyweight champion.

Dubois withdrew from a bout against Parker in February, and now the latter could secure the fight that the Briton wanted above all others

Oleksandr Usyk risks being stripped of the WBO world heavyweight boxing championship. It puts at risk the status of his prospective undisputed world title clash against Daniel Dubois. This is because Dubois holds the IBF championship.
