Share:

UFC Light Heavyweight champion, Alex ‘Poatan’ Pereira, is still open to facing off with heavyweight boxing champion, Oleksandr Usyk.

Pereira, who is preparing to face Magomed Ankalaev in what will be a fourth title defence, said he is open to face any one of Usyk, Dricus Du Plessis or Jon Jones.

Usyk currently holds the WBA (Super), WBC and WBO heavyweight title belts, having recently defended them with a win over Gypsy King, Tyson Fury. Meanwhile, Jon Jones is the UFC heavyweight champion and Dricus du Plessis holds the middleweight strap.

“In the future I would like Dricus or Jon Jones or even fighting Oleksandr Usyk in boxing,” Pereira said. “I see those possibly happening, but it doesn’t depend on me. It depends on the UFC.”
