The Undisputed Heavyweight Title Fight Everyone Wants: WBO Petition Could Make it Happen

 

The WBO just got a petition to greenlight an undisputed heavyweight title fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois. The heavyweight boxing world is buzzing with news that the WBO has received a petition to allow an undisputed title fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois. Usyk currently holds the WBO, WBA, and WBC heavyweight titles, while Dubois is the IBF champion. If approved, this blockbuster clash would see all four major belts up for grabs, a rare chance to crown an undisputed king in the division. Usyk previously beat Dubois in August 2023, but Dubois has since claimed the IBF strap, setting up a high stakes rematch. However, there’s a catch: Usyk is scheduled to make a mandatory WBO title defense against Joseph Parker, the interim champ. The petition asks the WBO to greenlight the Dubois fight instead, putting Parker’s shot on hold.

If the WBO says no, Usyk could face a tough choice, fight Parker to keep the WBO belt or risk losing it to take on Dubois for a shot at undisputed glory. Either way, the decision will shake up the heavyweight scene. Usyk’s team seems eager to chase history with a second undisputed reign, while Parker waits for his chance to claim the full WBO title. Fans are split, some want the unification bout for its legacy, others argue Parker deserves his due. The WBO Championship Committee will have the final say, and their ruling could come any day now.

Until then, the boxing world watches and waits, ready for a fight that could define the division in 2025. Will Usyk get his shot at Dubois, or will Parker step into the ring first? Stay tuned.
