No matter how much Usyk compromised, he was still being pushed for more.
According to Klimas, Usyk now hopes to return to the ring for a mandatory title defense this summer.
Usyk's last fight was against Britain's Anthony Joshua in August 2022. Oleksandr won this fight by split decision of the judges.
In September, 2021, Usyk came to the ring against Joshua too. That time, the Ukrainian boxer won by unanimous decision of the judges. He has 20 wins (13 KO) without a single defeat. Usyk has 33 wins (24 KOs), one draw and no defeats.
