Read our privacy policy Oleksandr Usyk is set to retain his status as undisputed heavyweight champion, at least for the time being, after the IBF opted against stripping him of its title. Usyk outpointed Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia on 18 May to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 24 years, but it was expected that the Ukrainian would soon have the IBF belt taken from him. The IBF title was expected to be on the line this Saturday, when mandatory challenger Filip Hrgovic boxes Daniel Dubois in Riyadh, but the IBF has decided to create an interim belt for that fight. As a result, Usyk will keep the official title for the time being, as well as his undisputed status, though it is unclear whether the 37-year-old will be stripped before his rematch with Fury.
