Serhiy Lapin, director of the heavyweight world champion team Oleksandr Usyk, spoke about Zuffa Boxing’s interest in the Ukrainian boxer.

“There are negotiations, there is dialogue, and there is interest. Details are not public at this time. Several doors are open and if the format, numbers and timing align, the market could see a move that no one expects.

Everyone saw what he did to MMA. His strength is not only in the organization of the fight, but in the creation of a large-scale event. If he gets involved, the level of attention is immediately different,” Lapin said.

Zuffa Boxing, led by Dana White and Turki Al-Sheikh, is a brand new boxing promotion where Usyk could become the first superstar. Cruiserweight champion Jay Opetaia has already joined the organization. There are also rumors that Oleksandr Gvozdyk and Serhii Bogachuk will perform in the organization.
