"He’s proven he’s the best of this generation and, once he’s retired Tyson Fury, he will consider his options," Lapin stated. Remember, Conor himself has advocated for the rematch. This includes some surprising and unconventional choices. Lapin mentioned, "Maybe that's dropping down in weight again, or maybe there’s a wildcard option on the table for him; be it in the boxing ring, the MMA cage, or even Conor McGregor’s BKFC."
This revelation has sparked intense speculation among fans and pundits alike. Lapin continued, highlighting potential matchups, "He could face UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones, have an MMA bout against Anthony Joshua, or a cruiserweight boxing fight against Jake Paul."
Adding more intrigue, Conor McGregor commented on ‘TheMacLife’ Instagram page with, “Usky in Bare Knuckle,” to which Lapin replied, “his team was ready to talk.” Usyk himself reshared the post on his Instagram story, captioning it, “Let’s talk.”

Who can beat Oleksandr Usyk?
Tony Bellew, a former opponent of Oleksandr Usyk, recently voiced his concerns on Club Bellew about remarks Usyk made post-Fury victory. Bellew pointed out something that caught his ear during the press conference.
“Was it not alarm bells ringing when he said how hard camp was?" Bellew recalled on Club Bellew, emphasizing Usyk’s own assertion that "the only person who beats him is him."
This introspective comment from Usyk, echoing Bellew's earlier thoughts, hints at the immense internal pressure and challenges Usyk faces in maintaining his top form. Meanwhile, Eddie Hearn, weighing in on the conversation, speculated on Usyk's future opponents. He suggested that a revamped Anthony Joshua might bring new challenges to Usyk, despite Joshua's previous losses to him.
"Maybe this AJ is a more dangerous threat," Hearn mused, adding, "I don’t know, you have to give him credit, but it will be interesting to see what his next move is." This dialogue paints a picture of the complexities and mental battles elite athletes like Usyk navigate in their careers.
