Rumors are swirling that unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk is about to sign a promotional deal with Zuffa. Oleksandr Usyk’s long-time promoter, Alex Krassyuk of K2 Promotions, recently announced a split from the boxer in June 2025. Usyk is now pursuing a multi-fight deal with an American promoter (Zuffa), with manager Egis Klimas in negotiations with major U.S. promotional companies. There are strong indications that Zuffa will be that promoter.
