  • Oleksandr Usyk is a former Olympic Gold Medalist.
  • Usyk is a former undisputed cruiserweight world champion.
  • Usyk is the reigning undisputed heavyweight world champion.

Oleksandr Usyk is fresh from his undisputed heavyweight title defense against Daniel Dubois in August 2023, where he knocked out the British boxing star in the ninth round of their world title showdown. It was the 21st career victory for the Ukrainian, who now resides in Oxford, California.

His immaculate record of 21 wins, including 14 TKO/KOs, has made Usyk a household name in BetMGM’s online sportsbook as a favorite boxer to place a bet on boxing odds. But when will he return inside the ring? And who will he face next?

When Is Oleksandr Usyk’s Next Fight?

Oleksandr Usyk’s next opponent has yet to be determined, but a mega fight between him and WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury is still the best possible fight to make for the undisputed heavyweight world championship. If this showdown between Usyk and Fury still couldn’t materialize, a fight with other top contenders like Deontay Wilder or Andy Ruiz can be a viable option.

Oleksandr Usyk Boxing Earnings

Oleksandr Usyk’s total career boxing earnings have skyrocketed throughout the years, and currently, he has earned an estimated $83.8 million in his 20-fight career.

His biggest single fight payout came during his rematch with Anthony Joshua in August 2022, where reports have stated that he and Joshua split the $150 million purse to bag $75 million of his own.

Oleksandr Usyk Trainer, Coach and Cornermen

Oleksandr Usyk is currently trained by Anatoly Lomachenko, the father of another Ukrainian boxing superstar, Vasiliy Lomachenko. Before the older Lomachenko spearheaded Usyk’s training, he worked with James Ali Bashir and Yuriy Tkachenko.
