Oleksandr Usyk was ordered to defend his WBO weight crown before Joseph Parker – or face the perspective of a prestigious belt. Ukrainian secured the undisputed heavyweight supremacy for the second occasion after his destructive victory over Daniel Dubois before 90,000 viewers at the Wembley stadium last weekend.

Usyk dominated the proceedings from the opening bell to the last moment. Although “Triple D” enjoyed a fleeting success during the competition, “Kot” quickly ended matters in the fifth round. Usyk sleeping a British warrior with a crushing right hook and against expectations, Dubois managed to make a canvas, but after the end of a moments later, when the Ukrainian released a precise left hand.

After the second triumph over the British, Utyk received a fairly definite directive from WBO. The sanctioning organization ordered the two unquestioned master to place the title on the Parker line.

In the correspondence sent to both camps, WBO stated: “Gentlemen: Please inform that the WBO World Championship Committee hereby requires the start of negotiations between fighters to be released in order to release the obligatory obligation to defend the title.

“Pursuant to this order, the Parties have thirty (30) days after the issue of this letter to achieve the conditions. The lack of this will cause that this Committee requires the procedure in the bidding of the handbag in accordance with the WBO provisions regarding the world championship competitions. The minimum offer in the heavyweight section is one million dollars ($ 1,000,000). Each of the party can call the ticket in at any time.

“Finally, WBO reserves the right to issue any further judgments considered necessary, helpful and convenient to achieve the goals, principles and intentions of WBO principles, including interests that best serve boxing, and the WBO hefty unit. Do not hesitate to contact the WBO headquarters if you have any questions or fears.”

If Usyk decides not to face the Parker, he will be forced to give in to the WBO belt – or a face without a face.

Immediately after Saturday night, boxing promoter Frank Warren revealed his desire to see Usyk to Parker, while confirming that Tyson Fury asked for a third meeting with the Ukrainian.

When he asked about which competition would prefer to witness the next one for Utyk, Warren said his press conference after the fight: ” [Usyk’s] The first defense of his title is the WBO belt, which will be against Joe Parker. Yes, there would be a great fight.

“I mean that I would like Joe Parker to fight. Joe deserves it. He takes himself, just like Daniel, and this is the fight that was ordered. So in this way whether it will happen or Joe will fight for a free title. Tyson expressed me very clear to me. [Usyk] Fight, he would like to make this fight and it would be a great fight. “

The Modern Zealand warrior enjoys an unusual form, defeating Deontay Wilder, Zhilei Zhang and Martin Bakole in a row. Parker’s coach, Andy Lee, recently revealed that his allegation has tools to surprise against the Ukrainian master and outlined their tactical preparations.

“What we are working on in the gym is ready all the time and body language in the ring and keeping your feet in a position where you are always ready to hit,” Lee explained at the Ariel X Ade show. “If you rest and take a break, you don’t show it. You look like you are ready to attack and you are ready to hit. Basically, we do it and it does it Usyk.

“Usyk feeds the intervals of the opponent. When they want to take this diminutive change, he will attack them. He can press, press, pressure, feint with his magical wand with his right hand and simply burns them. They are mentally exhausted as physically as physically. And then, when he wants to rest, he can move, immerse and dive under the bodies of large guys.”

When is the next fight Oleksandr Usyk?

Usyk planned to take a break for the rest of the year to recover and spend time with his family before he considers his next movement in the boxing ring. Thinking about his age after the fight against Dubois, Usyk said: “38 is a newborn guy, remember! 38 This is just the beginning!

“I want to thank Jesus Christ. I want to thank my team and Wembley, thank you very much! It’s for people. Nothing next. It’s enough, I don’t know. I want to rest. My family, my wife, my children, I want to rest now. Two or three months, I just want to rest.”

In addition, he suggested potential future opponents, saying: “Maybe Tyson Fury. Maybe we have three options, Derek Chisora and Anthony Joshua. Maybe Joseph Parker. Listen, I can’t say now because I want to go home.”

Oleksandr Usyk defended his world title in Riyad, defeating kickboxing icon Rico Verhoeven in the 11th round.

Verhoeven turned out to be a much tougher test for Usyk than many expected.

From the first bell, the Dutchman proved to be a problem, firing two tidy shots – one from above straight into the champion’s jaw, and the other a nasty shot to the body.

To the surprise of many, Verhoeven dominated most of the fight, with many viewers scoring just two or three rounds in favor of the Ukrainian.

Not only was Verhoeven in control, but he appeared to have hurt Usyk on numerous occasions, who looked nothing like the elusive champion we had become so accustomed to over the years.

Verhoeven went down in the 11th minute and went over the count before the referee led him to the corner to adjust his mouthpiece.

Ten seconds into the penultimate round, Usyk launched a brutal attack that injured Verhoeven, but he continued to fight. Nevertheless, the referee stepped in at 2:59 of the 11th round and called off the fight.

Many were outraged by the stoppage, with Derek Chisora ​​calling it a “assault” and Ryan Garcia believing the round was already over by the time the referee stepped in.

In an in-ring interview after his victory, Usyk admitted that his opponent was right.
