Possible Opponents and Reactions

Former world boxing champion Duke McKenzie believes Rico Verhoeven is the most likely candidate to face Usyk.

“When you give up your belts, for your 'last dance' you pick the opponent who will pay you the biggest purse of your career. Right now, it’s clear that’s Verhoeven. He earned respect in their first fight. Fans want a rematch. If I were Usyk, I’d agree to it,”
McKenzie stated.

Usyk’s decision to vacate his championship belts may signal his desire to focus on the most prestigious and financially rewarding fights, drawing attention not only from fans but also from sponsors. The anticipation surrounding announcements of his next matches heightens interest in the career of one of Ukraine’s most accomplished boxers, especially given the possibility of a 'last dance' in the ring. The choice of opponent will be a key factor in how his career ends and what emotions he leaves with boxing enthusiasts.
