Usyk advisor Sergey
\nLapin<\/a> recently told Ring Magazine that the former world
\nchampion is considering Jones and Deontay
\nWilder<\/a> as potential opponents for his last fight. <\/p>\n

Usyk was en route to a massive upset loss against kickboxer
\nRico
\nVerhoeven<\/a> last month. However, Usyk scored a highly
\ncontroversial stoppage win in the final seconds of the 11th
\nround. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Jones (28-1) retired from the
\nUFC<\/a> last year as the heavyweight champion. However, \u201cBones\u201d
\nlater started rallying for a spot on the
\nUFC White House<\/a> card, which went down earlier this month. Jones
\nlashed out at the UFC and asked for his release after failing to
\nland a spot on the White House card. The former UFC double champ
\nhas been contemplating a move to boxing.<\/p>\n
