Usyk Wants Bareknuckle Boxing Match In Conor McGregor’s BKFC After Fury 2

Usyk Wants Bareknuckle Boxing Match In Conor McGregor's BKFC After Fury 2

This is completely unexpected frankly and no one in boxing or the world of sport will have seen this coming from Usyk.

Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk — the undisputed world heavyweight champion who defeated Tyson Fury earlier this year — has made some news to put it lightly.

He takes on Fury December 21st in a rematch but after that Conor McGregor re-posted on X a short time ago details that prove he wants a fight in McGregor’s BKFC bareknuckle championship after the Fury 2 fight.

That is quite incredible.

Imagine a world heavyweight champion boxer in a bareknuckle fight.

That’s back to the very old days before the Marquess of Queensberry rules were drawn up.

A thing of savagery no less.

McGregor needs to give BKFC a bigger push then ever and is well advised to use big names in professional boxing to do it.

Usyk wanting a fight in it is something big for sure in boxing.

It would grab the attention of the masses.
