What to do further to the Ukrainian is unclear. Of course, you can retire. There are not many options for interesting confrontation. And in general, when the boxer has different titles for so long, but he conducts only the duels he needed, the cargo of unfinished mandatory title protection is gathering more and more. At some point, he should still work against the champion – he will have to fight with whom he is not very well, and in such battles the defeat is more likely.
However, Alexander, apparently, is not going to retire as of 2025. Therefore, it is worth considering the opportunity to continue his career.
Joseph Parker Age: 33 years
Record: 36-3, 24 ko
The most obvious option for a duel in the near future. All because Parker is waiting and waiting for his fight, but he will not have it.
Joseph is a mandatory WBO belt. Even a temporary champion, because he won everyone who got to Usik on the approaches. Recently, Parker has defeated Deontey Wilder, Zhanga Zhjilei and Martin Bakole. And let me no additional factors in the case of Baco.
The Parker team actively worked on the duel against Alexander Usik, but it did not work. The Ukrainian champion and its representatives have stated that the boxer needs rest and recovery. Past camps were difficult, and the Ukrainian has some health problems.
Subsequently, after the announcement of a back injury, a video of Usik dance appeared on the network at his wife’s charity evening. After that, WBO demanded that the boxer re -findings of the doctors, but this did not abolish the defense. So, probably, Alexander really needs restoration.
In addition, Joseph is the number one opponent in line, if you say about the defense prescribed by regulations. No one else can appear earlier in the ring with Usik if he plans to continue to own all belts in Hevaiti.
The only thing that can interfere with this duel is Parker’s meeting against Fabio Wardley. It will take place in October 2025, and the winner will probably claim Usik. However, it is not the fact that Joseph will be the winner.

The British has a WBA temporary belt, which will fight the parker. Yes, according to Joseph himself, it will not be a temporary WBO title at the stake of battle.
Wordley is a terribly dangerous boxer who rightly got to where he is now. From 2023 to 2025 he defeated David Adlee, later squeezed against Fraser Clark. Subsequently, he took his in Clark-knocked him out in the 1st round of revenge. And then the Justis Huny was knocked out.
The last battle causes fears before meeting with a parker. And, on both sides. The team of Joseph has something to worry: Wardley lost the duel completely, and in the future he knocked out a visa in the 10th round of the 12th Duard. The Fabio team has something to worry: the Guni has plowed their athlete, and Parker is definitely not worse than Justis.
Agit Cabayel Age: 33 years
Record: 26–0, 18 ko
Getty Images/Global Images Ukraine The German claims Usik on the WBC line, but cannot stand up to Parker, because he won his status later. That is why this option is not the first. Kabayel has even planned a fight for himself as other categories would be boxing.
According to Bild, agit will meet with a boxer of the leading 10 hevaita in the winter of 2026 in Germany. The tournament will even show Dazn.
However, it is not necessary to completely drop Kabayla. He is among the contenders. And it is actually considered as a boxer that can beat Usik. However, the work on the trunk of agita is at a high level, and this place is not the most vulnerable in the case of Alexander.
Tyson Fury Age: 37 years old
Record: 34–2–1, 24 ko
Getty Images/Global Images Ukraine Turkey Al Ash-Sheikh, Head of Saudi Arabia General Administration for Entertainment, said he was ready to make a third match between Fury and Usik. This is not surprising, because Turkey considers Fury a friend, and he said that he would return only for such confrontation.
Why this battle is unreal? Because Tyson does not know what he wants. He says that he will return for revenge, he says that she is already retired. And yet, because it is unclear how fans respond to him. After all, everyone realizes that the past twice, Susk has definitely won.
Why is this fight real? Because the money of the Saudites solves all these issues. If Turkey sees the prospect here and wants to meet, there will be a confrontation.
Jake Paul Age: 28 years old
Record: 12-1, 7 ko
Getty Images/Global Images Ukraine It is impossible to bypass him. Let Alexander himself mention Jake himself among the plans for the future. How was it?
Initially, Jake Paul spoke about plans for the next five years. He told that he wanted to become a billionaire, to fight on the moon, and also to defeat Alexander Usik.
Subsequently, the Ukrainian reacted.
“A good plan. However, I am not here for the sake of 5th place-only 1st. I will turn the boxing page soon, and then I will wait for you in the cage. Let’s see if you really have a courage or only haap, ”Usik wrote in his Twitter, who is not often updated, but for this case he did so.
Yes, the box in boxing is unlikely. It just doesn’t make any sense. Even at 38 and after dozens of complex confrontation, Usyk is hundreds of times better than Jake. However, there may be a different way.
Usik understands that he has nothing to prove in boxing. He defeated all the important boxers and won all important awards. Finally, you can make money by speaking in something new.
There is not much logic in confrontation in mixed martial arts. All the stories that once ago Usik had taken to kickboxing – only history. Most of his life is Alexander – boxer. So MMA will have a chance with him.
