The tandem worked for 12 years. During this period, Usyk had 23 fights, which ended in his victory.
Krasyuk announced the end of their cooperation, wishing Alexander success in the future.
— It has been an incredible journey — 12 years of incredible success. Two young dreamers met to change the rules of the game. Back in 2013, I gave my word — and I kept it. Back then, no one believed that we could achieve what we had planned. But by the grace of God, we accomplished the impossible mission, — he wrote, adding that the dream came true.
Krasyuk also confirmed to Tribuna.com that the collaboration had ended.
During his time with Krasyuk, Usyk won the WBO (2016), WBO and WBC (2018) titles and became the absolute heavyweight champion (2018). He received the WBO, WBA and IBF (2021) belts in the heavyweight division and became the absolute world champion in this category in 2024.
The Usyk-Dubois rematch will take place on July 19 in London. The Ukrainian will defend the belts he owns and fight to regain the IBF title, which he vacated in the summer of 2024 before his second fight with Tyson Fury.
Dubois and Usyk already met in August 2023. Then Alexander won an early victory by technical knockout in the ninth round.
