Breaking News: Usyk to be Stripped of Undisputed Title
The boxing world was left in shock as it was revealed that Oleksandr Usyk, the newly crowned undisputed heavyweight champion, is set to be stripped of his title in less than two weeks. Usyk’s victory over Tyson Fury in what was dubbed “the fight of the century” in Saudi Arabia saw him add the WBC title to his collection of WBA, IBF, and WBO belts. However, both Usyk and Fury are reportedly obligated to vacate the IBF title to make way for the overdue mandatory challenger Filip Hrgovic’s bout with Daniel Dubois.
In the midst of this controversy, former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis took to Twitter to congratulate Usyk on his historic achievement, welcoming him to the exclusive club of undisputed champions. Despite the setback, Fury remains optimistic about his future in the sport, shrugging off suggestions that the judges favored Usyk due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
However, the celebrations were cut short as it was revealed that Usyk had suffered a broken jaw and was rushed to the hospital, preventing him from participating in a post-fight press conference. The Ukrainian fighter was seen being assisted back to his dressing room, visibly battered and bruised, raising concerns about the extent of his injuries.
Amidst the chaos, Usyk found solace in the arms of his wife, Yekaterina, sharing a tender moment of celebration after achieving his lifelong dream of becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion. As the boxing world awaits further developments in this unfolding saga, one thing is certain – the drama and excitement of the sport continue to captivate fans worldwide.
