Alexander Krasyuk: “Usik can return to the ring only for the sake …”

World Champion in Squad Weight Weight, WBC, WBO and WBA titles Alexander Usik (23-0, 14 KOs) does not plan to go to the ring against the representative of the DR Congo Martin Bakole (21-11, 16 KOs), who has repeatedly called the Ukrainian to fight.

Promotor Alexander Krasyuk commented on the likelihood of this confrontation, and also informed Usik’s main purpose in 2025:

“Alexander will not fight against Bakole and there is one important reason. Martin does not have any world titles. Therefore, this fight is uninteresting.

Usik can return to the ring only for the sake of something unusual and extraordinary – a duel for the title of absolute world champion. This is the main goal for 2025. This is our plan. Because earlier in the history of boxing there has never been such, ”Krasuk summed up.

The title of IBF in the heavyweight weight is owned by British Daniel Duba, who will fight against the New Zealand contender Joseph Parker on February 22 in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia).
