Oleksandr Usyk eyes Deontay Wilder or Jon Jones for final boxing match

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

He has vacated his heavyweight titles and is considering two unconventional opponents: fellow boxer Deontay Wilder or UFC fighter Jon Jones. Usyk's team reportedly prefers Wilder, aiming for a late 2026 or early 2027 bout in the United States, though a fight with Jones is considered highly unlikely due to his UFC contract and differing skill sets.
