Oleksandr Usyk is better placed than anyone to judge the skills of both Daniel Dubois and Anthony Joshua. The Ukrainian has beaten every man he has faced in the professional ring. A former undisputed cruiserweight turned undisputed heavyweight champion, Usyk beat Joshua in back to back fights in 2021 and 2022.

Johnny Nelson believes that Joseph Parker should be the next man to step into the ring with Oleksandr Usyk for a shot at heavyweight glory.

Both Daniel Dubois and Oleksandr Usyk want to step through the ropes to crown an undisputed heavyweight champion.

The WBO has mandated heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) to take on interim titleholder Joseph Parker (36-3, 24 KOs) next. Both fighters have 30 days to negotiate a deal before a purse bid is initiated by the sanctioning body.

Dubois withdrew from a bout against Parker in February, and now the latter could secure the fight that the Briton wanted above all others

Oleksandr Usyk risks being stripped of the WBO world heavyweight boxing championship. It puts at risk the status of his prospective undisputed world title clash against Daniel Dubois. This is because Dubois holds the IBF championship.
