“Now, the most attractive option for Usyk is to have a fight with the winner of the Parker-DuBois pair and become the absolute world champion for the third time. It will be difficult for Usyk to drop weight to return to cruiserweight, and even if he can, it will be a long wait to unify all the belts. After all, title holders Jack, Ramirez and Opetaya already have their next opponents.
The next mandatory contender for Usyk will be the winner of the fight Kabayel – Zhilei, who will hold a contender fight for the WBC title. Kubrat Pulev from WBA is also waiting for him.
Probably the last option for Usyk is to move down to the bridgeweight weight category and have a title fight there,” Jay said.
