The reputation of the Absolute World Boxing Champion in heavyweight of Ukrainian Alexander Usik was trampled by a grand scandal.

An investigation has already begun against all the boxer. Is it time to take the belt from the fraudster?

Back problems and delay

In 2024, the Ukrainian boxer twice entered the ring. And in both cases he was opposed by Briton Tyson Fury. Many were waiting for these battles, but they did not work out spectacular. One way or another, in the first duel, Usyk inflicted the first defeat in the career by a separate decision of the judges, and in the second full -time meeting success was already achieved by a unanimous decision.

His next opponent was to be a mandatory applicant-the preparation of the World Boxing Organization (WBO) Joseph Parker (36-3, 24 KOs). The antennae had to begin the negotiations necessary in such cases. At the end of July, WBO sent a letter to the Ukrainian team with the relevant requirement.

Exactly 30 days were granted to achieve an agreement on the battle, but about a week and a half before the expiration of the appointed deadline, Alexander asked him to provide him with a deferral for medical reasons: due to back injury. And this request was eventually satisfied.

Without a belt and with a scammer’s title?

It seems that everything was transparent and in accordance with the rules. But then Usik fell into a scandal, which could in a very serious way to influence his career and reputation. There were several videos from a closed party at the network, at which the Ukrainian boxer is dancing without any restrictions. There are also shots on which the allegedly sick champion calmly plays football. And here everyone has a logical question – but what about the back injury?

The most important thing is that they became interested in such things in WBO. They remembered their immediate duties and demanded the Usyk team to provide a detailed medical report by September 1.

– The medical summary should be detailed and thorough and must confirm the current state of health of Mr. Usik, the forecast, the estimated recovery dates and any other confirming medical evidence that are considered related to the case.

The Committee cannot allow further delays or uncertainty of unceasal clarification. Failure to fulfill this request will not leave the committee of other choice, except to take appropriate measures in accordance with the rules and provisions of WBO, – Boxingscene quotes the chairman of the WBO title battles Luis Batista Salas to the lawyer Usyk John Horneur.

Actually, then everything is simple. If the Usyk ignores the WBO requirement or its report does not suit the World Boxing Organization, then the Ukrainian belt will go to the parker. The same Luis Batista said that the organization seriously thought about what was happening, because they were actually deceived and put in an extremely awkward position. The WBO has just approved the gap, and now he is dancing at discos and plays football.

Now the main intrigue is a repeated medical examination of the Ukrainian, which should be done literally in the coming days, if not a clock. Meanwhile, rumors are already associated with a Parker with a possible fight against Fabio Wardley, where a real champion belt can stand at Kon.
