Usik’s team turned to WBO after order to beat with parker or wardley

WBO (World Boxing Organization) has decided to provide Alexander Usik 90 days of delaying against compulsory protection and issued an order for fighting with the winner of the match between Joseph Parker and Fabio Wardley.

Sergey Lapinthe director of the Usik team, reacted to this decision.

“We thank WBO for the consideration of the case and our arguments.

On July 19, 2025, Alexander Usyk held a title battle for the third time in 14 months and again became an absolute world champion. These victories were given at the cost of enormous discipline, dedication and grueling camps – the first of which lasted almost nine months due to the transfer of battle. This load requires proper and long -term rehabilitation.

Usik is not ordered bed rest, he is allowed to participate in charitable sports activities and moderate physical activity. But it is obvious that dancing or participation in event is not the same as three -month preparation for the title battle, ”Lapin said.
