Former UFC champion Usman: “Having six title fights at a tournament in the White House is a very bad idea”
Former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman said that he does not approve of holding multiple title fights as part of the UFC tournament at the White House.
US President Donald Trump confirmed that the American White House will host the UFC tournament in 2026. The tournament will take place on June 14. The sporting event will be part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of US independence. The octagon will be installed on the lawn in front of the presidential residence. It is expected that at least six title fights of the organization will take place within the framework of the tournament.
— They are talking about six or seven title fights within the tournament. But who wants to watch seven title fights in a row?! These are fights of five rounds. What if four, five or six fights in a row seem boring? I think this is a bad idea. Very bad idea.
First of all, we want to see contenders fights because these guys are willing to risk everything. And the champion’s main goal is to retain the title. A champion must be smart, act tactically, and strategically retain his title. They fight carefully, they need to be smarter than everyone else. To be honest, by the third title fight I’ll probably be asleep. Seriously, it’s true,” MMA Junkie quotes Usman.

According to the source, Klitschko may fight former world champion Daniel Dubois on his return. TalkSport states that both fighters are open to a fight. The British publication also states that Klitschko’s opponent could be the new world champion Fabio Wardley or even Tyson Fury, who decided to return to the ring.
Klitschko was last defeated by knockout against Anthony Joshua in 2017. Previously, Lennox Lewis said that the performance against Klitschko was the best performance of Joshua’s career.

Father of former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury John He spoke harshly about a possible fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Deontay Wilder.
“Of course anything can happen in boxing. But Wilder vs. Usyk? Deontay has no chance. I wouldn’t want to see this fight. There are much better opponents. Does Usyk want to fight Wardley? I say no because he knows the danger. Does he want to fight Kabael? I say no. They know the odds. They are getting older and these young guys can beat anyone,” said Fury.
Previously, star British heavyweight Moses Itauma had talked about a possible fight against WBA, WBC and IBF world champion Alexander Usyk. The young boxer noted the Ukrainian’s age and his path to the heavyweight league.
