his manager egis klimas clarified that when waiting to get a shot usyk would remain busy instead of risk. he said:we dont know what happens on december 7. however, if it is possible to fight in between and not to wait around for another six months, then i presume chisora will be a good battle for usyk.
usyk vs chisora is being targeted for the first quarter of 2020 and could still match even if the wbo belt does not become empty and stays with joshua or ruiz jr.
how about the wbc heavyweight championship?
