Summary

Oleksandr Usyk is poised for a potential world title showdown upon his return to boxing after vacating all his belts. The unbeaten Ukrainian, who previously held the title of undisputed heavyweight champion, is not expected to step into the ring until next year, but discussions are already heating up about his possible opponents.

Promoter Frank Warren is open to facilitating a high-stakes match for Usyk, indicating that he could face top contenders like Agit Kabayel, Daniel Dubois, or even Tyson Fury. Each of these fighters has a significant stake in the heavyweight division, with Fury aiming for the WBA 'super' belt against Anthony Joshua in December.

Warren expressed his enthusiasm for Usyk's return, stating:

I'll take that fight [for Kabayel], I wouldn't mind that fight. There are some great fights to be made and we'll make them.

The promoter emphasized his willingness to collaborate, noting their successful history of working together. Despite Usyk's previous victories over Fury and Dubois, a trilogy bout with either remains a tantalizing prospect.

Daniel Dubois, fresh off a thrilling victory over Fabio Wardley to claim the WBO heavyweight title, aims to solidify his position as the best heavyweight in the world. His trainer, Don Charles, acknowledged the challenge ahead, stating:

Fabio's a serious, serious fighter. It's down to us to say no you can't have it, we're having it for keeps.

As the heavyweight landscape continues to evolve, all eyes are on Usyk to see who he will challenge next.
