Promoter Frank Warren aims to orchestrate heavyweight world-title unification bouts in 2027, with hopes of reintroducing former undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk into the fray.

Currently, the heavyweight division's four major titles are held by different champions, and Warren promotes three of them. Daniel Dubois is set to defend his WBO title against Fabio Wardley at the O2 Arena in London this Saturday.

Warren stated, "The plan is to make the unification fights happen and try to get Usyk back in it," during an interview on the 5 Live Boxing podcast. He emphasized, "No-one can say we're keeping guys apart."

This matchup marks a rematch, as Dubois previously overcame two early knockdowns to stop Wardley in the 11th round after a thrilling encounter in Manchester five months ago. The winner of Saturday’s fight is poised to pursue additional world titles.

Warren also mentioned that the WBA 'super' heavyweight championship will be up for grabs when Tyson Fury faces Anthony Joshua in Cardiff on December 11. He noted, "The WBA have put that belt up for them," although the sanctioning body has yet to confirm this arrangement publicly.

Currently, Murat Gassiev is recognized as the sole heavyweight world champion, but he may be relegated to 'regular' champion status if the WBA awards the primary 'super' title to the winner of the Fury-Joshua bout.

Usyk made history by becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era after defeating Fury in May 2024. Since then, he has vacated his world titles, paving the way for a new generation of champions in the heavyweight division.
