The promoter of the IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO world heavyweight champion Alexander Usik, Alexander Krasyuk, believes that the Ukrainian is capable of performing at the top level for at least another three years.
In an interview with Betway, he said that Usyk is already 36 years old and has three more years to show his best results.
“The only question or concern we have is a health issue, so that could be an obstacle.” If his body is still ready to fight, then I don’t think he will give up,” Krasyuk said.
He noted that he has been working with Usik since his first debut in the profiling in 2013.

“We’ve been very close to each other for the last 10 years, but he’s a child at heart.” “He has not experienced the end of his career and has no idea how difficult it is for a fighter to leave boxing,” the promoter added.
Krasyuk recalled that Vitali Klitschko once left boxing for four years, and then returned and won the WBC belt. According to Usik’s promoter, the reason was not money, but that he missed the sport.
On February 17, 2024, in Saudi Arabia, Usik will fight with Tyson Fury, who holds the WBC heavyweight belt, for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion.
The parties' agreement provides for a rematch. Four belts will be at stake: the three (WBA, WBO and IBF) that Usyk owns, as well as Fury’s WBC title.
