Deontay Wilder has confirmed he is “in talks” for a fight with Oleksandr Usyk, after emerging as a genuine option for the Ukrainian’s next opponent.
In July, Usyk stopped Daniel Dubois for the second time in two years to regain his status as undisputed heavyweight champion. While the 38-year-old was then expected to face Fabio Wardley, after the Briton stopped Joseph Parker in October, Usyk gave up the WBO belt.
