“Book It.” Jake Paul Claims a Shot at Usyk?

Undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (24‑0, 15 KOs) scored a fifth‑round knockout over former IBF title‑holder Daniel Dubois (22‑3, 21 KOs).

After the bout, Usyk shared a tense staredown with crossover heavyweight Jake Paul. The American later posted on X (formerly Twitter):

“First AJ (Anthony Joshua), then OU (Oleksandr Usyk). Book it.”

Talks of a potential Joshua–Paul matchup have been circulating for some time, and Saudi impresario Turki Alalsheikh has partly confirmed that such a clash is on the table.
