The boxer also commented on the choice of his next opponent, but preferred not to give specific names due to ongoing negotiations. Itauma is considered one of the most promising prospects in the boxing world, with an impressive record of 11 knockouts in 13 fights. His last victory, a KO in the first round over Dillian Whyte in August, was a clear demonstration of his potential. Usyk, 38 years old, plans to return to the ring in 2026, but it has not yet been decided who will be his rival. Furthermore, Usyk shared his future plans: “I will fight until I am 41 years old. Then I will build a sports academy; I will train there and train others.”No, I will not fight Itauma. He is young… he is always provoking me. And he himself said that he doesn’t hit old people.
