Usyk Plots Boxing Future
Oleksandr Usyk, fresh off wins against Fury and Joshua, plans to fight Rico Verhoeven on May 23, then the Wardley/Dubois winner, possibly followed by a third Fury bout [https://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/13517774/oleksandr-usyk-to-fight-fabio-wardley-vs-daniel-dubois-winner-then-tyson-fury-were-up-for-that-says-frank-warren].
Usyk's move to face Verhoeven, a kickboxing star, highlights his ambition to transcend boxing. A May 23 fight date suggests a quick turnaround after his demanding Fury fight. The Wardley/Dubois fight is particularly interesting, with Warren noting that the winner will have to face Usyk next. This keeps Usyk active while the heavyweight division sorts itself out. A third Fury fight remains a possibility, indicating unfinished business despite Usyk's recent victory. This potential trilogy bout would undoubtedly be a major draw.
