Read our privacy policy Oleksandr Usyk has joked that he will not watch a heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua if the fight comes to fruition. Usyk retained the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight belts last month by outpointing Joshua for the second time in 11 months, also staying unbeaten in the process. The Ukrainian was expected to face WBC title holder Fury next to crown an undisputed champion, but the Briton’s desired fight date will come too soon for Usyk. Southpaw Usyk remains unbeaten as a professional, having previously reigned as the only undisputed cruiserweight champion of the four-belt era before dethroning Joshua at heavyweight with a points win in September 2021.
