Oleksandr Usyk is widely considered to be one of the best boxers of his era, if not all time.

The likeable Ukraine southpaw is undefeated in his career so far. He has had 23 professional fights since turning over from the amateur code following his victory and gold medal in the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

Since then he has cleaned out two entire divisions. Firstly he became undisputed at cruiserweight, then moved up and repeated the trick at heavyweight. Across back-to-back fights with Anthony Joshua, he managed to take and then defend three of the four world titles before retaining them against Daniel Dubois via stoppage.

Another brace of close battles followed with Tyson Fury, and again, like the ‘AJ’ bouts, Usyk came out on top across the 24 hard-fought rounds.

Because of what he has achieved, including being named Ring Magazine’s Fighter of the Year for 2024, many feel he could now walk away with his head held high and his place in the Hall of Fame assured.

However, there is also plenty of clamour for him to rematch Dubois and again become an undisputed champion, that’s if Dubois can get past Joseph Parker in February.

Speaking in the Daily Mail, Frank Warren claims Usyk has told him that is exactly his plan.

“Oleksandr told me at the weekend he will fight the winner of Daniel v Joseph Parker to try to become undisputed heavyweight champion a second time.”

Being twice undisputed at heavyweight would be another historic feat for Usyk, and something befitting the high levels he has achieved across his career.

All eyes turn to February 22, when Dubois puts his IBF belt on the line against New Zealand’s Parker.
