Oleksandr Usyk may lose WBO title: who will become the new champion.

Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk, who became the undisputed world champion in the heavyweight division after defeating Daniel Dubois, is now at risk of losing his WBO title due to a mandatory defense against official challenger Joseph Parker.

What awaits Usyk in the future

In order to maintain his status as the undisputed champion, Usyk will have to face Parker. This may affect his future plans, including the possibility of fighting other big names such as Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua.

“If Usyk wants to stay undisputed, he will have to meet Parker. This is boxing, it's not only about money but also rules. I know he's a champion at heart, but regulations are strict. If WBO takes the belt, it will change the power dynamics,” former world champion Deontay Wilder said.

Among other possible fights for Usyk, a bout with Moses Itauma is also discussed, but for this, he must meet WBO requirements. The Ukrainian has a tough task - to retain all his titles to remain the undisputed champion in the heavyweight division.
