Usyk holds all four belts - but it won't be for long.

Usyk added a fourth world title to his collection after beating Fury Oleksandr Usyk has been crowned the undisputed heavyweight world champion after victory over Tyson Fury – but he could lose one of those cherished belts by the end of the month. Fury and Usyk met in Saudi Arabia in a historic bout to crown the division’s first sole world champion since Lennox Lewis unified the division 25 years ago.

Usyk stunned Fury in the ninth round While the IBF did not enforce their mandatory title defence to allow Fury vs Usyk to happen, they will not wait any longer with boxing journalist Dan Rafael reporting Usyk will be forced to vacate the belt inside the next two weeks. Rafael reports that decision is part of the Fury vs Uysk fight contract. Hrgovic is scheduled to fight Dubois on June where the newly vacated belt is expected to be on the line.
