There are reports that the representatives of the British second in the ranking of the WBO, Joe Joyce, are in negotiations with the former Ukrainian world champion and mandatory challenger for the title, Alexander Usyk about a possible fight for the interim WBO heavyweight championship.

Everything indicates that it could be a championship opportunity because it will allow the current world champions Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua to face each other and then seek a possible mandatory fight to later face the winner of Usyk-Joyce.
