Oleksandr Usyk has named his ideal final three fights, starting with Rico Verhoeven in May, followed by the winner of Fabio Wardley vs Daniel Dubois and ending with a trilogy against a returning Tyson Fury.<\/p>\n
Only the Verhoeven fight is secured \u2014 controversially for Usyk\u2019s WBC heavyweight title \u2013 and the other match-ups must still be negotiated, but interim champion and mandatory challenger, Agit Kabayel, has taken serious issue with the list.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Instagram, the German heavyweight said:<\/p>\n
\u201cMy parents always told me to stay humble and respectful. But I can\u2019t accept being ignored any longer. I deserve the title shot.\u201d<\/p>\n
In an interview with RTL\/ntv and sport.de, Kabayel expanded, saying that Usyk\u2019s plan proves that he is \u2018only interested in money.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cI have always respected Usyk greatly for his sporting achievements and said, \u2018Hey, he doesn\u2019t shy away from a challenge and is a man of his word.\u2019 But he\u2019s only interested in money; everything else is of no interest to him. I\u2019ve noticed that again very clearly now.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can he not name the number one in the rankings, his mandatory challenger? It\u2019s just sad that he\u2019d rather fight Dubois or Fury a third time, even though he\u2019s already beaten them both twice.\u201d<\/p>\n
