Klimas Names Possible Venue and Date for Usyk – Wilder Fight

The manager of three-time undisputed world champion Oleksandr Usyk, Egis Klimas, shared details about a possible fight between his client and former champion Deontay Wilder.

“It’s very likely [we will see Usyk face Wilder]. Because right now we're working on it, and we're working on some multi-fight agreement for Oleksandr.

As soon as we're going to confirm that, we're going to jump in. And some talks already are going on with the team of Wilder. We're looking at Las Vegas or Los Angeles, and dates are the end of April, beginning of May.

Wilder is one of the best names that Oleksandr didn't face yet. He's still in good shape, and he's still a fighter, so he's interesting. And as well, it's the United States,” said Klimas.

Oleksandr Usyk (24-0, 15 KOs) last entered the ring in July against Daniel Dubois and won by knockout in the fifth round, becoming the undisputed Heavyweight world champion. In early December, the Ukrainian stated his desire to fight Wilder.

In June, Deontay Wilder (44-4, 43 KOs) defeated Tyrrell Herndon by technical knockout in the 7th round.
