Usyk Doesn't Rule Out MMA Fight Against Alex Pereira

Two-time undisputed boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk has admitted that he could be open to fighting former UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira in the cage—but only under certain conditions.

– UFC fighter Alex Pereira has shown interest in fighting you. Would this interest you as a final battle before retirement?

– Yes, it would be interesting—but only after my fight with Daniel Dubois to unify our belts.

A fight in the cage? It’s a joke… but there’s always a little truth in every joke.

On March 8, Pereira lost his UFC light heavyweight title by decision to Magomed Ankalaev.
