Promoter Eddie Hearn is working to find a date for the heavyweight debut, of cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.
Last year, Usyk unified the cruiserweight division by capturing all world titles. Carlos Takam fought well against unified champion, Anthony Joshua and against former champion Joseph Parker.
Last December, Takam came back strong with a knockout over Senad Gashi at the O2 Arena in London. Usyk vs Takam would be transmitted by DAZN and May 17 or 25 sounds like a viable possibility.
“Usyk will make his fight in the heavyweight division next, and we almost have Carlos Takam finalized as his rival,” Hearn said, adding: “We were going for May 18, but now Wilder will fight on that date, and we do not want to run into that show. So we are analyzing if it would be a better option on May 17 or 25th.”
