MOSCOW, Sep 15Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk will fight the winner of the fight between American Deontay Wilder and Finn Robert Helenius, his manager Egis Klimas said. The fight between Wilder and Helenius will take place on October 15 in New York. Usyk planned to fight World Boxing Council (WBC) world champion Tyson Fury, but the Briton is currently in talks to organize a fight with compatriot Anthony Joshua. «What happens if Joshua defeats Fury? He and Usyk will go to a rematch which will delay the chance of getting the undisputed world champion.I think Fury is most likely afraid of Usyk.Why is he running away from him?Because Fury sees danger in Alexander.Usyk would like to fight Wilder, but whoever wins this fight ( Wilder — Helenius) will be next. Usyk is not like Fury. He is looking for winners, not losers, «The Ring quotes Klimas. The Ukrainian boxer himself said that he was not angry because of Fury's negotiations with Joshua. «I have no special feelings about the fight between Fury and Joshua. I don't care if Fury wants to fight someone. My team is working to return me in the ring. And no, I'm not angry at all. The big problem is that Tyson Fury is not letting the fans see one of the best fights in boxing history. It's his fault. Not mine. So I'm not angry at all. Tyson Fury might fight anyone. From the point of view of sports behavior, of course, this is wrong. Who would I want to fight? Deontay Wilder. He is a dangerous fighter, and this fight will most likely take place in the USA, «said the Ukrainian. Usyk is 35 years old. He remains undefeated in the professional ring, with 20 wins to his credit, 13 of them by knockout. On August 20, the Ukrainian defeated Joshua and retained the World Boxing Association (WBA) Super, World Boxing Organization (WBO), International Boxing Federation (IBF) and International Boxing Organization (IBO) world titles. Wilder is 36 years old, he won 42 victories, suffered two defeats and ended the fight once in a draw. The American is a former WBC champion, currently Fury holds the title, to whom Wilder lost the last two fights. The 38-year-old Helenius has 31 wins and three losses.
