NEW YORK – Oleksandr Usyk’s intent to defeat all the major heavyweights of his era has motivated him to make former WBC champion Deontay Wilder his next opponent, promoter Eddie Hearn said on DAZN Saturday.
Before the Xander Zayas-Jaron “Boots” Ennis 154-pound unified title fight at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, Hearn intimated to DAZN’s Chris Mannix that the deal is done a day after Usyk relinquished his three heavyweight belts (WBA, WBC, IBF).
