Ring, WBO, WBA, IBO, WBC heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk is ready and willing to face the winner of Daniel Dubois vs. Joseph Parker next.
Ring, WBO, WBA, IBO, WBC heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk is ready and willing to face the winner of Daniel Dubois vs. Joseph Parker next.
"I will fight who will win, Joseph Parker, Daniel Dubois, no problem," Usyk told Sky Sports.
Last year, Usyk became the undisputed world champion when he decisioned Tyson Fury in their anticipated unification clash.
The IBF would later apply pressure on Usyk to make a mandatory defense of their title.
Usyk would drop their version of the gold, in order to move forward with a contracted rematch against Fury - which saw the Ukrainian boxer come away with another win.
The vacant IBF belt was later claimed by Daniel Dubois, who back in September demolished Anthony Joshua in five rounds.
On February 22, Dubois will defend the title against former world champion Joseph Parker in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Should Dubois win, the stage would be set for a rematch with Usyk.
Dubois challenged Usyk for the unified heavyweight championship in 2023. There was a tremendous amount of debate over the fifth round, when Dubois dropped Usyk with a punch that seemed to connect to the beltline. Usyk went down in severe pain and was allowed plenty of time to recover after the referee ruled the punch as a low blow.
Usyk would eventually break Dubois down and knock him out in the ninth round of the contest.
