World Boxing News learned about the decision of the World Boxing Organization regarding the possibilities of Usyk vs. Dubois 2.
As WBN revealed last week, Oleksandr Uyk and Daniel Dubois submitted a WBO application for consideration of the rematch between the couple this summer.
President Gustavo Olivieri stated that the obligatory date of Joseph Parker in mid -April would be scrapped in favor of the final decision of the WBO Championship Committee.
After Egis Klimas, reports about the conclusion of an agreement between the elderly rivals of Utyk and Dubois for the summer at the Wembley stadium, Olivieri updated worldboxingnews.com about the situation.
“We expect a decision from the championship committee in the next two weeks,” said Olivieri World Boxing News.
Usyk, Master WBO, WBA and WBC, fought only for one obligatory since they won the IBF, WBA and WBO versions from former master Anthony Joshu in September 2021. Ironically, it was against Dubois in August 2023.
The controversy disturbed the fight after a low blow, in which Usyk devoted a lot of time before he finally fired Dubois knockout in Wroclaw in Poland. Since then, Dubois has lobbyed the second chance on both sides to demand an IBF belt without a struggle without a fight.
IBF took the belt from Usyk after the second victory over Tyson Fury in Ruch, which polarized boxing fans. Usyk wants to recover the title of IBF, despite the premature and powerful reception of his championship, with the Fall Guy Parker in this situation.
Parker won the opportunity at the heavyweight championships after he threw Martin Bakole after Dubois withdrew through the disease. At the same time, the sport policy and the fact that Usyk does not have long delay in this fight until December. Parker’s mandatory status is marginalized, because other forces are at stake to make up vs Dubois 2 is the main goal.
I must admit that WBO is working on a complex situation and aims to issue an official ruling that can serene all the involved parties.
WBN believes that Usyk and Dubois will probably fight first at the London Wembley stadium. Parker would guarantee the opportunity to become a heavyweight champion under the agreement in the clash, which is to be the host by Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in the last third third 2025.
Both competitions would still be under the banner of the Turki Alalshikh and Ring magazine, who seem to have the current monopoly in the heavyweight ward.
