The manager of the absolute world champion in heavyweight Oleksandr Usyk Egis Klimas said that Ukrainian boxer could hold the next match in May 2019 informs xsport.ua.

«I think Usyk will win Joshua. But not in April, he first needs one or two heavyweight fights. I do not even think that Usyk will return to the ring in April, I think this will happen in May, since we want him to rest. Can Usyk stay heavy? Some people say that Andre Ward may come back. Ward said he wanted to meet Bellew, but Tony did not beat Usyk. Is Ward ready now to return and meet with Ukrainian? I think Usyk and Ward will make a good match. Ward worked very well against Kovalev. Maybe he will be able to do something with Usyk and show a competitive battle. But I personally think that it is better for Usyk to rise as a heavyweight and start knocking out this division», the Lithuanian told ESPN.

Recall, Usyk held a fight on November 10 in Manchester against Tony Bellew and won by knockout in the eighth round.
