Heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk is set for a thrilling encounter with American rival Deontay Wilder in the near future. According to Wilder, the negotiations between him and Usyk have reached "very promising" stages.
The two fighters are expected to clash in a highly anticipated bout, which could take place in the United States. With Usyk's impressive record of defeating three world-class opponents - Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, and Daniel Dubois - twice each, this match promises to be an exhilarating test of strength for both competitors.
Wilder, who has lost four out of his last six fights but boasts a remarkable 43-fight unbeaten streak, is confident that he can pull off a stunning upset victory against the Ukrainian champion. "I pray things are fair," he said, "with everything and we have a great fight."
The Alabama-based fighter attributes his renewed enthusiasm to his recent knockout win over fellow American Tyrrell Anthony Herndon in June. Additionally, Wilder has revealed an added motivation to prove doubters wrong after enduring a tumultuous period in his life.
"I'm still here, and to get this opportunity, it's a blessing that I am," he stated. "And like I told Usyk, I appreciate that. So, we're going to see, fans get ready, it's going to be something."
The stage is now set for an electrifying showdown between Wilder and Usyk. Will the American be able to pull off a monumental upset, or will the Ukrainian champion's skill and experience prevail? Only time will tell as these two titans of the heavyweight division prepare to collide in what promises to be one of the most anticipated bouts of the year.

Usyk's defense against Wilder better be top-notch... can't handle a single shot! 
it's gonna be like watching a battle royale or something! I mean, Usyk has already taken down three of Wilder's contemporaries (Joshua, Fury, Dubois) like they were nobodies... 2x is pretty impressive if u ask me. but Wilder's been through some stuff and he's got this whole underdog vibe goin' on which could work in his favor 
i'm really curious to see how this one plays out! maybe usyk will underestimate him and get caught with a big punch lol
that's insane! but it's not like Wilder doesn't have anything to prove - he's got a crazy 43-fight unbeaten streak going on and he's been through some stuff. so yeah, fans better be ready for a WILD ride 
this fight is gonna be LIT!!! 
! Deontay Wilder is going to give Oleksandr Usyk a run for his money and it's gonna be EPIC 
. I'm rooting for the underdog here 
. Can't wait to see these two boxers go head-to-head in the ring 
. It's gonna be a thrilling matchup and I'm all about it 
. Wilder better come correct, tho 
.
from last summer and how it's not around anymore. I'm totally craving their Korean BBQ tacos now, man... anyway, back to Usyk vs Wilder - have you ever noticed how weird it is that people think Deontay Wilder has this crazy unbeaten streak? 43 fights and 0 losses, but what about the ones he actually lost? 
. If he can bring that energy to the ring, it could be a fight for the ages 
! Of course, Usyk has skills galore too, so we might see a closely contested match 
I'm hoping for an absolute war 
but at the same time, Wilder has been on a roll lately and that knockout win over Tyrrell Anthony Herndon was super exciting! 
. Either way, it's gonna be a wild ride for the fans!

wilder's been through some tough times but that just makes this fight even more exciting
