Usyk Doesn’t Rule Out a Fight Against Alex Pereira

Two-division undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk doesn’t see the idea of facing UFC champion Alex Pereira as far-fetched.

– I just heard you say you have only two fights left in your career, so I guess that rules out a return to cruiserweight. In an ideal world, what are those two fights for Oleksandr?

– First, a fight against the winner of the February 22 bout between Dubois and Joseph Parker for the IBF title. And then, maybe an exhibition fight with Alex Pereira. Maybe, why not? Alex wants it.

The idea of this crossover fight was first brought up by Pereira himself, who stated that as a champion, he wants to face another champion if he transitions to boxing.
