Oleksandr Usyk Rejects Fight with Mose Itauma, Plans to Box Until 41
Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk has declined a potential fight with British prodigy Mose Itauma, stating he will continue boxing until the age of 41. Usyk, a holder of five major world titles, recently made a comeback after a fifth-round knockout victory against Daniel Dubois in July.
While negotiations for Usyk's next opponent are ongoing, potential matchups with Joseph Parker or Fabio Wardley are being discussed. Itauma's name has entered the conversation following his explosive first-round knockout of Dillian Whyte in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, catching the attention of Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh.
