Boxing fans have long dreamed of a tournament-style format in the sport to determine the best in each weight class. However, boxing tournaments have been rare due to various obstacles such as boxing politics, injuries, and mandatory title defense obligations.
ESPN has envisioned three fantasy tournaments that would captivate fans and elevate boxers' careers by crowning undisputed champions in their divisions. One such tournament involves the heavyweight division, with the WBC champion set to face Oleksandr Usyk to determine the first undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt era.
