Oleksandr Usyk, the newly crowned undisputed heavyweight world champion, has made a significant decision to vacate his IBF title in order to focus on his upcoming rematch with Tyson Fury.
The 37-year-old Ukrainian made history by becoming the first fighter to hold all four major heavyweight titles - IBF, WBO, WBA, and WBC - after his thrilling victory over Fury in a split decision in Saudi Arabia just a few weeks ago.
Despite the immense achievement of unifying the heavyweight champion, Usyk's contractual obligations to face Fury again have led him to relinquish his IBF belt.
This move means that Usyk will not be able to defend his IBF title against interim champion and mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois. The decision to vacate the IBF belt showcases Usyk's commitment to facing the best in the division and maintaining the competitive landscape of the heavyweight title.
Usyk's victory over Fury solidified his status as the undisputed world champion and cemented his legacy as one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of his generation.
The upcoming rematch with Fury is highly anticipated by boxing fans around the world, as the two heavyweight giants prepare to go head-to-head once again in a battle for supremacy in the championship.
As Usyk continues his reign as the undisputed heavyweight champion, his decision to vacate the IBF title highlights his dedication to facing top competition and his willingness to make tough choices in pursuit of boxing greatness.
The heavyweight title remains in a state of excitement and anticipation as new challengers emerge and the quest for championship glory continues.
