Share This News On...

The World Boxing Organization (WBO) has officially ordered Oleksandr Usyk to defend his heavyweight title against interim champion Joseph Parker, setting the stage for a potential blockbuster fight.

Usyk, the reigning WBO, WBA, and WBC heavyweight champion, has 30 days to negotiate with Parker before the fight goes to a purse bid. However, the Ukrainian champion may have other plans, as his team is already in talks for a rematch with IBF champion Daniel Dubois.

With Usyk eyeing a Wembley showdown with Dubois, will he comply with the WBO’s order or push for the rematch? Boxing fans are in for a dramatic twist in the heavyweight division.
