Usyk Considers Bare-Knuckle Boxing
Oleksandr Usyk, the first four-belt undisputed heavyweight champion, is contemplating a move into the world of bare-knuckle boxing after vacating his IBF title for the Tyson Fury rematch.
Lapin's Bold Predictions
Coach Sergey Lapin suggested that a defeat for Fury in the rematch could mark the end of his career, opening up the possibility for Usyk to explore options in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, co-owned by Conor McGregor.
McGregor and Usyk on Board
Conor McGregor and Usyk have shown interest in the idea, with McGregor commenting on Lapin's Instagram post and Usyk giving it the green light on his own social media platform.
Wild Options on the Table
Lapin hinted at potential matchups for Usyk post-Fury, including facing YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul one-handed and exploring opportunities in MMA, including a potential bout with Jon Jones or a showdown with Anthony Joshua in the cage.
