Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk risks gradually losing his championship titles. At the moment, he holds the WBA, WBC, and WBO belts, as well as the less prestigious IBO title.
Details: According to World Boxing News, Usyk may face a situation similar to when he had to relinquish his IBF title after his first fight against Fury. The reason is that he has not been defending his belts in fights against mandatory challengers or interim champions of these organizations.
However, it is reported that the federations may make an exception if Usyk reaches an agreement in the near future for a fight for the undisputed championship against the winner of the Dubois vs. Parker bout.
Reminder: Earlier, Tyson Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, revealed what might motivate the "Gypsy King" to return to the ring. According to him, Fury has indeed retired for now, but he may change his mind in the future if he regains the desire to box again.
