Rematch with Dubois first
Oleksandr Usyk is eyeing a rematch with Daniel Dubois for the undisputed heavyweight titles before considering a move to MMA. Usyk, who beat Dubois in 2023, expressed his readiness for the fight, highlighting the role of Turki Alalshikh in organizing the bout.
Usyk's boxing journey and potential MMA crossover
After twice beating Tyson Fury in 2024, Usyk had to vacate the IBF title for a rematch with Fury. Dubois, who became IBF champ, knocked out Anthony Joshua but pulled out of a defense against Joseph Parker. Usyk is still focused on Dubois to unify the belts. UFC star Alex Pereira has called out Usyk, who hinted at a potential crossover bout in MMA post-Dubois fight.
