Exciting Prospects for Usyk Beyond Boxing

Lapin expressed excitement at the idea of Usyk potentially fighting UFC heavyweight Jon Jones or stepping into the ring with Jake Paul. The coach even mentioned a potential third fight with Anthony Joshua in the MMA cage or a cruiserweight match against Jake Paul.

Renewing Rivalry with Fury
