Eddie Hearn raises a question about Oleksandr Usyk facing Daniel Dubois in a rematch

In his professional boxing career, Oleksandr Usyk first became the undisputed champion in the cruiserweight division and later achieved the same status in the heavyweight division.

With an undefeated record of 23-0, Eddie Hearn believes Usyk has nothing left to prove in professional boxing. In a recent interview with iFL TV, Hearn questioned why Usyk is open to fighting Daniel Dubois.

"I think Usyk should retire. Honestly, imagine if Usyk walked away from boxing now. He's always going to be an all-time great. But imagine never being beaten, [being] undisputed [champion] at cruiserweight, undisputed [champion] at heavyweight... What does Usyk get out of fighting Joseph Parker? What's the motivation to fight Dubois? He's already beaten him."
