“The boxer was supposed to fight Wordley”, — write: sport.ua
According to the source, after the Ukrainian voluntarily relinquished the WBO title, Fabio Wardley’s manager Michael Ofo said that Usyk’s team first agreed to all the terms of the fight and then “backed off.” Wordley, who after the victory over Joseph Parker and the latter’s positive doping test, was promoted to full WBO champion, is waiting for his first defense already in the spring.
Ucyk himself, who owns the WBC, IBF and WBA belts after a premature victory over Daniel DuBois, said that the fight with Wardley is not of interest to him at the moment. Instead, the Ukrainian wants to meet Deontay Wilder. Against this background, Ofo criticizes the champion, believing that he is avoiding his ward.
