Oleksandr Usyk Weighs Potential 2026 Title Fight with Moses Itauma

News summary

The heavyweight boxing scene in 2025 is marked by uncertainty and anticipation, particularly surrounding Oleksandr Usyk and the emerging talent Moses Itauma. Usyk, who remains without a confirmed opponent after passing on a mandatory challenger, seems to be waiting for a potential trilogy fight with Tyson Fury, who is currently retired. Meanwhile, Moses Itauma, a highly touted young British heavyweight, has declined a fight against Frank Sanchez, the IBF mandatory challenger, causing speculation about his next move. Itauma is expected to return in December and may target a bout with Usyk in 2026, with support from Saudi boxing officials and his trainer, although some question if it is too soon for him to pursue a world title. Other heavyweight prospects and bouts, like Joseph Parker vs. Fabio Wardley and an exhibition between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis, are also on the horizon. Additionally, a historic boxing event featuring Usyk and Terence Crawford is set for November in Tashkent, underscoring the sport's global reach and continued excitement.
