As NBN reports with reference to the material of the publication Komanda, according to the promoter of former champion Tyson Fury, Frank Warren, the current WBC/WBO/WBA/IBO heavyweight champion Alexander Usyk is unlikely to repeat what he has gone through, that is, return to fights in a lighter weight category.

Based on Warren's words, Usyk is not eager to do this for a fairly good reason – the Ukrainian has increased his characteristics and dimensions before the fight with Fury, so the promoter believes:

You only have to look at his size – this will not happen.

In addition, the “advertising agent” is confident – Usyk will box against the winner of the fight between Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker for the IBF title, since the winner will be the most profitable opponent for our boxer:

This is the winner of this fight [Usyk's next opponent]. Big fight… Alexander told me last weekend that he will fight the winner of the Daniel Dubois vs. Joseph Parker fight [to be held on February 22] to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world for the second time.
