- Oleksandr Usyk has teased a significant announcement "very soon", generating anticipation within the boxing community.
- His team director, Sergey Lapin, has dismissed media reports claiming Usyk signed with Zuffa Boxing, advising the public to await official statements.
- This development follows a week of major boxing news, including Conor Benn's move to Dana White's Zuffa Boxing, Frank Warren's reported $1bn lawsuit against Zuffa's owners, and the confirmation of Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao 2.
- Usyk last fought in July, where he became a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion after defeating Daniel Dubois.
- He vacated his WBO title in November, and is now expected to have a voluntary title defence, potentially against WBC mandatory challenger Agit Kabayel.
