World heavyweight champ Oleksandr Usyk has stated he’s solely interested by boxing two guys, these being the 2 males he defeated to turn into unified heavyweight champion: Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. Talking with Seconds Out, Usyk stated it’s time for the youthful guys to compete. Usyk as we all know packing containers his rematch with Fury on December 21, and after that, assuming Usyk wins, and assuming Joshua defeats Daniel Dubois on September 21, there might be a Usyk-Joshua III.
No different fights are of curiosity to the unbeaten two divisision champion who’s a sure Corridor of Famer of the longer term.
“Effectively, it is a rematch with Fury and presumably a 3rd match with Joshua. Solely with these two guys is it nonetheless attention-grabbing, any longer let the youth get match and work……the logical line is that, other than Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, I’ve no want to field with anybody,” Usyk stated.
So, it might be that we will watch and recognize this particular fighter simply twice extra. If Usyk does defeat Fury once more, and if he then fights and defeats AJ a 3rd time after which retires from boxing, Usyk will be a part of the very quick record of nice fighters who went out with out ever having tasted a single defeat. At the moment 22-0(14), Usyk, who turns 38 in January, would exit at 24-0 (?) if he did stroll away after two repeat wins over Fury and AJ. Having just about executed all of it within the sport – profitable an Olympic gold medal, having unified all 4 world titles at cruiserweight and at heavyweight – Usyk would depart behind some unbelievable legacy.
However Fury is set to get his revenge in December, whereas Joshua nonetheless believes he can defeat Usyk if he will get a 3rd go at him. It is going to be very attention-grabbing watching Usyk, a person who has been known as a generational expertise, shut out his stellar ring profession.
Does Usyk exit with a spotless, unbeaten report?
