Oleksandr Usyk could return to boxing with a world title fight, according to promoter Frank Warren. The unbeaten Ukrainian vacated his undisputed heavyweight belts but is expected to box again next year. Warren promotes WBC champion Agit Kabayel, WBO titlist Daniel Dubois, and represents Tyson Fury, who could win the WBA 'super' belt if he beats Anthony Joshua in December. Usyk has previously beaten both Fury and Dubois, though a trilogy bout with either could still materialize. Taking on Kabayel for the WBC crown in Germany could also be appealing. 'I'll take that fight [for Kabayel], I wouldn't mind that fight,' Warren told Sky Sports. 'Any of them... if he wants to fight one of these guys, then come and see us.'

Dubois came unstuck in previous fights against Usyk but bounced back to defeat Fabio Wardley in a thriller to win the WBO heavyweight title. If he can repeat that victory in their rematch at The O2 Arena in London, Dubois aims to be the best heavyweight in the world next year. 'That's the aim, that's our objective,' trainer Don Charles said. 'It would be foolish of me to overlook Saturday. Fabio's a serious, serious fighter... He's going to do everything in his physical make up and desire to try and recapture his title.'
