Usik is bargaining. This will be a historic agreement with Turki Al-Sheikh

Sergey Lapin, director of the world heavyweight champion team Alexandra Usika, He talked about Zuffa Boxing’s interest in the Ukrainian boxer.

“There are negotiations, there is dialogue and there is interest. Details are not being made public at this time. Several doors are open and if the format, numbers and timing align, the market could see a move no one expected.”

Everyone saw what he did with MMA. His power lies not only in organizing a fight, but also in creating a large-scale event. If he joins, the level of interest immediately changes,” Lapin said.

Led by Dana White and Turki Al-Sheikh, Zuffa Boxing is a brand new boxing promotion with Usyk set to become its first superstar. Cruiserweight champion Jay Opetaya has already joined the organization. There are rumors that Alexander Gvozdyk and Sergey Bogachuk will also perform at the event.

Fabio WARDLEY: “Do you know how the Usyk-Mike Tyson fight will turn out?”

WBO heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley He talked about hypothetical fights that Alexander Usik had with boxing legends Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali in his best years.

UFC champion’s manager Harrison: “The doctor said that without surgery she could be permanently paralyzed”

Manager Ali Abdel-Aziz, who represents the interests of UFC bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison, spoke about the athlete’s health.

On January 24, Harrison was scheduled to fight Amanda Nunes at UFC 324, but withdrew from the fight, revealing that she had undergone neck surgery.

“This situation with the neck injury has been going on for a long time. Kayla hasn’t been 100% fit for the last three years. She always had a tingling sensation in her neck, and often she could not raise her arm at all. She was given injections, given a bunch of anti-inflammatory medications, but nothing helped.

The UFC flew her to New York, and the doctor there immediately said that she needed surgery, because otherwise she could remain paralyzed forever. The disc was pressing on the spinal cord. But I’ll tell you this: immediately after the operation, all the pain went away,” MMA Fighting quotes Abdel-Aziz.

35-year-old Harrison won 19 victories and one defeat in MMA. She has owned the championship belt since the summer of 2025 and has not yet made a single defense.
