Usyk is a former Olympic gold medalist and undisputed cruiserweight champion who has not yet lost in the professional ring. Even when the technically gifted southpaw moved up to the banner division, he soon imposed himself with 12-round points wins over the likes of Derek Chisora and Chazz Witherspoon.

In an interview with ‘The Stomping Ground’ ahead of his July 19 rematch against Daniel Dubois, Usyk responded to questions about potential future opponents by expressing interest in a trilogy fight with either Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua—assuming he secures victory at Wembley Stadium.

The growing popularity of IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois and the significant stature of the brand of Oleksandr Usyk in the UK marketplace means that within 24 hours, more than 60,000 tickets have been sold for their rematch.
