“The President of the World Boxing Organization has reported a problem solving”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
The President of the World Boxing Organization (WBO) Gustavo Oliver has informed that the boxer from Ukraine would not lose the belt unless he referred an official appeal with a request for deferral of compulsory protection.
“We have made a decision to hold the Usik – Parker match, but it is possible to postpone this meeting on a later date. To do this, the team of the Ukrainian champion should send a deferral appeal. In this case, the WBO committee will make the appropriate decision, ”Oliver said.
Earlier, the World Boxing Organization reported that Usik should fight with the New Zealand contender Joseph Parker, but the Ukrainian boxer decided to meet with British Duba in the next duel.
