Oleksandr Usyk has to beat Daniel Dubois in the London Wembley Stadium on July 19 in order to crown itself again to the undisputed heavyweight king of all associations. The Ukrainian already thinks further and calls two possible opponents for the future – Germany’s box hope Agit Kabayel is not one of them.
Oleksandr Usyk spread a two-point plan a long time ago until its end of his career. First he wanted to conquer all four important World Cup belts again, then cede with a show fight. The 38-year-old UFC star Alex Pereira from Brazil cited as possible opponents.
Point 1 of the plan is, on July 19, WBA/WBO champion will meet IBF world champion Daniel Dubois in Wembley. From point 2, the USYK, which is still unbeaten as a professional, has apparently moved away.
After the fight against Dubois, he has “two options,” said Usyk in an interview with “Mail Sport”: “Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.” Asked who he would prefer to box against, he replied: “Tyson Fury.”

At the beginning of the year after his second defeat against Usyk, Fury announced his end of his career in December 2024, but most recently indicated a comeback. Usyk can also show two victories (2021/22) against Joshua.
Boxing: bad news for Agit Kabayel?
Germany’s heavyweight hope AGIT Kabayel should not be happy to hear the world’s future splaw. As an interim champion, the “Leberking” is entitled to a World Cup fight against USYK, provided that this dubois beats.
The Bochumer had recently expressed itself skeptically whether it really came against Usyk. “My style, this body hit – the combat name Leberking has now established itself at most. I think it is very difficult to avoid this body hit. Very many do not get along with that, even a Usyk, you don’t have to call the child by name,” he said in the interview with sport.de: “Usyk does not get along, you have seen that in the past, even in his amateur career: he doesn’t like to be hit on the body at all.”
