Interesting discussions have begun again in the boxing world. Sergey Lapin, the manager of the undisputed world champion Alexander Usyk, has proposed organizing a fight between two promising British boxers, Moses Itauma and Fabio Wardley, BoxingScene reports.
Lapin believes this fight will not only be spectacular but also ideal for determining Usyk's next mandatory opponent. According to him, the rules of the WBO organization are very clear - a champion or title must be waived or a mandatory defense is required.
"Currently, there are two options: to give up the title or to hold a mandatory fight. We prefer the second option. Therefore, let's arrange a clash between Moses Itauma and Fabio Wardley. The winner of this fight will then enter the ring against Usyk. This will be a logical and interesting scenario for boxing," Lapin said in an interview with journalists.
After this statement, a broad discussion began among boxing fans and analysts. Because Moses Itauma is a 19-year-old talent, he is seen as the future of British boxing. He has participated in 8 fights so far and won all of them. Fabio Wardley is an experienced and powerful boxer who won the British heavyweight championship title.
If the fight between these two boxers takes place, it could become a major event not only for the British but for the entire boxing world. Because the winner gets the right to fight Usyk - which is a dream for both.
He is currently the undisputed world champion in the WBO, WBA, IBF, and IBO versions. His reputation was further enhanced by his victory over Tyson Fury in his last fight, winning all major belts simultaneously as one of the few athletes in professional boxing history.
Lapin stated that Usyk's team will make an official decision on the plan for the upcoming fight in the coming months. "Alexander does not shy away from fighting. For him, it's not the opponent's name that matters, but their level. If Itauma or Wardley prove themselves, Usik will be ready to fight them," he said.
The potential fight between Moses Itauma and Fabio Wardley is being eagerly awaited in Britain. The winner of this clash will receive not only a chance to win the championship, but also a chance to make history with their name.
Thus, the question of who Usik's next opponent would be became even more interesting. If Lapin's idea is realized, a great intrigue and brilliant fight await boxing fans worldwide.
