A recent statement from renowned promoter Frank Warren has sparked renewed interest and discussions about the upcoming fights of Ukrainian boxing star Oleksandr Usyk. In his latest interview, Warren expressed his opinion on who could be the next major opponent for the reigning heavyweight champion. According to him, the most credible and deserving contender at the moment is Joseph Parker — an experienced New Zealand boxer with a solid record of victories, including notable wins over high-profile opponents. Warren emphasized that, although no official negotiations have yet begun, the matchup is quite feasible and could soon become part of Usyk's future fight schedule. "Frankly, I would love to see a bout between Usyk and Parker, — Warren stated. — Both fighters are riding winning streaks, and such a fight would be a fitting continuation of the current era in the heavyweight division. As for the likelihood of this fight happening, I believe it’s just a matter of making the first steps and sorting out organizational details. Fans around the world would eagerly anticipate such a showdown, as unifying titles and top-level clashes always generate significant attention.
