Oleksandr Usyk manager names next fight after Tyson Fury
Egis Klimas, Oleksandr Usyk’s promoter, recently sat down with Boxing King Media and hinted that Usyk may already have his eye on his next challenge if he emerges victorious against Tyson Fury in December. Despite a career full of heavyweight triumphs, Usyk is still hungry to prove himself.
Usyk, with signature wins over Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois, will face Fury again on December 21 in Riyadh. The 37-year-old Ukrainian will look to replicate his earlier split decision win over the towering 6-foot-9 Brit. But what happens next if Usyk gets his hand raised once more? Retirement seems unlikely. Instead, Klimas revealed that Usyk has another target: a rematch with IBF champion Daniel Dubois.
“Would we set up a fight with Dubois if Usyk beats Fury? Absolutely,” Klimas stated. He emphasized that the previous fight left unfinished business, recalling the controversy surrounding a beltline punch that many insisted was clean, although the referee ruled it a low blow. “The referee gave us recovery time, and any smart fighter would use that opportunity,” Klimas noted.
Since his defeat to Usyk, Dubois has rebounded impressively. He’s notched notable victories, taking down Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic, and he stunned the boxing world by stopping Anthony Joshua this past August. Entering 2025, Dubois is riding high, and with Usyk approaching 40, some believe the Londoner might finally be in a position to turn the tables.
While Usyk’s upcoming rematch with Fury remains the main focus, Klimas made it clear that a second showdown with Dubois could be next on the horizon. Usyk, as always, remains determined to leave no doubt.
