Usyk may fight Parker for WBO belt
Ukrinform
Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk may be able to fight for a WBO heavyweight title.
If the WBO belt becomes vacant, Usyk and New Zealand boxer Joseph Parker will fight for the title, according to Sport.ua.
"Anthony Joshua now holds the WBO belt, and he needs to make the defense according to two versions - WBO and IBF. If the Briton chooses the defense of the IBF title (a duel with Bulgarian Kurbat Pulev), it is likely that WBO will make its belt vacant," the report said.
It is noteworthy that Eddie Hearn is the promoter for Parker, Usyk and Joshua so it will not be difficult to agree on a unification fight.
