- Oleksandr Usyk shared his opinion on the launch of the Dana White Boxing League
- The king of Libra by Libra has expressed his desire to have only two more fighting
- The new league is located in Tko Group Holdings, owner of UFC and WWE
Oleksandr Usyk said that 'would consider' participate in the new Dana White boxing league in association with the Saudi Chief Turki Alalshikh earlier this month.
The duo announced the long -awaited initiative after signing an agreement with Tko Group, the company that houses UFC and WWE, which will be responsible for the daily race.
White has been a Turki Alalshikh admirer for a long time, since the famous advisor played an important role in UFC events in Saudi Arabia during the last year.
Meanwhile, Usyk already announced that he is ready for two more boxing fights, a defense of his belts, while a second 'show fight' will conclude his illustrious career.
However, when it was questioned if it would compete in the new league, the Ukrainian icon has spoken positively.
“Incredible, surprising idea,” he said in an interview with To Arabiya. 'I think his excellence is doing a lot for sport. It is wonderful that new initiatives are created and supported.

UFC president announced the association initiative with Turki Alalshikh under Tko's umbrella
USYK's comments occurred after WBO ordered him to defend his titles against Joseph Parker
'Many people think things may not work, but it is important to do new things. Always.
“I am not against that, but I have not been invited to participate in this league, but if such a proposal appears, my team and I will seriously consider it.”
White and his partners plan to organize four 'mega-events' in the next two years, while the old indisputable heavyweight will undoubtedly be considered.
Tko did not announce the name of the League, but the agreement marked the last movement in the massive spending of Saudi Arabia in sports, led by the heir prince Mohammed Bin Salman.
Alalshikh, meanwhile, has been the face of the largest boxing fighting in recent years, such as two games between Usyk and Tyson Fury, as well as Artur Beterbiev's fights with Dmitry Bivol.
The initiative is expected to follow a path similar to UFC after White announced that there will only be one belt in each weight division, whose number will be reduced compared to the current model.
However, until then, it is understood that the OMB has ordered USYK to defend its title against Parker despite its desire for a rematch against Dubois with a FIB in play belt.
It occurs after the new Zeeland star defeated Martin Bukole in advance after Dubois withdrew from his fight due to a disease.

In an interview before Parker's fight with English was canceled, Usyk said: 'I will fight whoever wins (between Parker and Dubois).
'Joseph Parker, Daniel Dubois, no problem. I think two years, one and a half (left in boxing).
I feel great. I feel that I have two fights to prepare (for), no more. Only two.
Previously, Usyk expressed his desire to face the former semi -marked weight champion of UFC and Medium weight Alex Pereira in a match to mark the end of his career.
However, if these conversations will be held, it is still unknown, considering that the Brazilian lost its title against Magomed Ankalaev earlier this month.
