Usyk will fight in 2025 — time and opponent are known
Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk may return to the ring after his victory over Tyson Fury. The world champion received the challenge from the serious and dangerous opponent.
Chinese boxer Zhang Zhilei will seek to meet the Ukrainian in the ring, The Ring reports.
Oleksandr Usyk did not comment on his future plans after his second victory over Tyson Fury. This does not stop other boxers from challenging the Ukrainian champion. Zhang Zhilei, the 2008 Olympic medallist, followed such an example.
When Usyk vs Zhilei fight can take place
On February 22, the Chinese boxer will fight Agit Kabael from Germany. The winner of this fight will become the interim WBC world champion. However, Zhilei has no doubts about his victory and is making further plans.
The Chinese heavyweight’s team has no doubt that Zhilei will get the right to fight Oleksandr Usyk. Zhilei is going to defeat the Ukrainian and take over his championship belts. Zhilei plans to hold this fight at the end of 2025.
As a reminder, another legendary Ukrainian boxer is close to returning to the ring — Wladimir Klitschko will fight for the title.
