After two victories against Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk has a new plan for his career: Return to Cruiser weight, A category in which he was already the undisputed champion. It is a risky and strange move if he finally makes it, when he is installed at the top of the Queen class. He not only declared himself the absolute king of heavyweight, but That he became an old champion despite the fact that he had only seven fights at heavyweight.
Ukrainian He will be 38 years old in January, But he still looks strong enough to take on a big challenge, which is to repeat the successes in the low weight division. He is with Evander Holyfield the only fighter who was undisputed heavyweight and cruiser, But perhaps in the latter you can find the motives that attract your attention the most. However, the, He did not refuse to measure himself against Daniel Dubois after his great comeback against Fury.
“I’ll try to get back to Cruiser weight again”, He announced on Sky Sports a few days ago in the cold. On the one hand, he was leaving the way clear for his compatriot Wladimir Klitschko To be invited to a world heavyweight title match and thus choose to be The oldest champion ever in boxing. Usyk has already said that he will help him realize this dream. On the other hand,’The cat ‘ will open a group of competitors after he cleared the top weight category. Let’s remember that Dubois fired him despite the controversy over the alleged hit that left Oleksandr dry.
Now for the Olympic champion in London to face the undefeated Australian Jay opitaya It looks much more interesting than conceding a rematch to Daniel Dubois at heavyweight. But the return of Osijek to its origins is likely to lead to a huge fight Against the winner of Dmitry Bivol vs Artur Beterbiev, Which will rise in the category. No duel can equal this one.
