Sergey Lapin put it on the market that Usyk is focused on taking a battle with Conor McGregor as soon as he has handled Fury a second time (and Lapin says Usyk will cease Fury this time, with Usyk additionally retiring Fury from the game).
All objectives achieved – undisputed, four-belt ruler at cruiserweight, the identical at heavyweight, all worthy challengers beat – Usyk would then want a contemporary problem, and possibly a bare-knuckle journey will show to be it.
