A big surprise awaits Usik. His team wasn’t expecting this

Team director of the former absolute world champion Alexandra Usika Sergey Lapin confirmed active talks for a fight with former champion Deontay Wilder and did not rule out surprises.

“Discussions continue in various directions. Interest in the USA has been wider than many expected. The picture will become clearer in the near future and it is quite possible that there will be really interesting surprises.

The larger the site, the better. Scale matters. But what really matters is the atmosphere,” Lapin said.

Previously, WBC, WBA and IBF heavyweight champion Alexander Usik said that he was always ready to fight with Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. The boxer prepared for these fights for 10-11 years.

FURY picks the winner of the Usyk-Wilder fight: “He has no chance”

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.
