Usyk was accused of avoiding a fight. He accepted the fight first

Unified World Heavyweight Champion Alexandra Usika He was accused of avoiding a fight he had allegedly agreed to before.

According to the source, after the Ukrainian player voluntarily gave up his WBO title, Fabio Wardley’s manager Michael Ofo said that Usik’s team first agreed on all the terms of the fight, then “withdrew”. Wardley, who rose to the full WBO title after defeating Joseph Parker and testing positive for doping, awaits his first defense in the spring.

Usyk, who holds the WBC, IBF and WBA belts after his early victory against Daniel Dubois, said that the fight with Wardley does not interest him yet. Instead, he wants to meet with Ukrainian player Deontay Wilder. In this context, Ofo criticizes the champion, believing that he escaped from his ward.

Quick knockout. One of the competitors, Usik Kabayel, stopped the Pole in Germany

On Saturday, January 10, a night of boxing was held at the Rudolf Weber Arena in Oberhausen, Germany, the main event of which was the fight for the title of interim world champion.

Representatives of the super heavyweight (over 90.7 kg) met in the ring: WBC Interim belt holder Agit Kabayel from Germany (26-0, 18 KOs) and his Polish opponent Damian Knyba (17-0, 11 KOs).

The boxers started the fight actively – from the first round it was clear that Knyba could create problems for his more outstanding opponent, who had a cut above his right eye. However, starting from the second round, the German began to actively work on the body and took control of the fight. In the third round, Kabayel hit Knyba in the head several times and began to finish him off – the referee intervened and stopped the fight.

Kabayel remained the holder of the title of WBC interim world champion and was one of the contenders for the fight with Ukrainian Alexander Usik, who holds the full title of the World Boxing Council.
