Ukrainian heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk is eyeing a return to the cruiserweight division in 2027, targeting a fight against unbeaten American David Benavidez for a vacant world title. His adviser Sergey Lapin says the plan is to win the belt and then unify all cruiserweight titles before retiring.
Two‑time undisputed world champion Oleksandr Usyk revealed his plans for the future, confirming that his upcoming fight will be his last. The Ukrainian boxer said the bout will mark the end of his professional career.
The article discusses the controversy surrounding the fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Rico Verhoeven. The referee, Mark Lyson, stopped the fight in the 11th round, which some argued was harsh on Verhoeven. A boxing commission later ruled that Lyson acted in good faith and with the paramount objective of boxer safety.
