Unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk is set to face the WBO’s interim heavyweight champion Joseph Parker.
The WBO has mandated negotiations for a title bout between unified champion Oleksandr Usyk and interim champion Joseph Parker, with a 30-day deadline to agree on terms or face a purse bid. Usyk, who regained his IBF belt after defeating Daniel Dubois, has held the WBO title since 2021 and defended it successfully four times.
