OLEKSANDR USAK will "study” Tyson Fury's WBC title bout with Dillian Whyte at Wembley on Saturday.
This is according to Alexander Krassyuk (promoter of Usyk), who confirmed that the Ukrainian star will be visiting the capital to observe the competition over the weekend.
After a unanimous points win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, September, the 35-year old is expected to defend his WBA and WBO belts against Anthony Joshua.
Fury could be Usyk’s next opponent in a title-unification bout in the event of Joshua's win. If he defeats Joshua, Fury could also get an all-British fight.
Sky Sports reported that Krassyuk said "Definitely yes [we'll be watching the fight].
"Egis Klimas [Usyk’s manager] and I plan to attend the event from ringside.
