Ukrainian heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk is facing a unique challenge: finding a suitable opponent for his next fight. Following his successful title defense against Daniel Dubois, the dominant champion appears to have few obvious answers regarding who he will face next. The talent pool in the heavyweight division seems to be shrinking as Usyk continues his reign.
Currently, Joseph Parker emerges as the most viable contender. Despite past losses to Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte, Parker has shown remarkable resilience. After a defeat by Joe Joyce, Parker mounted an impressive comeback, winning six consecutive fights and securing the WBO Interim Heavyweight title. This recent strong performance positions him as a leading candidate for a showdown with Usyk.
