Oleksandr Usyk vacates heavyweight titles; new champions emerge

Oleksandr Usyk has vacated all remaining heavyweight titles, marking a significant change in the division. Having remained undefeated throughout his career, Usyk's decision has led to Agit Kabayel being elevated to the WBC heavyweight champion after previously being the interim titleholder. The IBF has yet to name a challenger for its vacant title, with Frank Sanchez as the highest-ranked contender, and Moses Itauma's upcoming fight against Filip Hrgovic could determine a title contender. The WBA is expected to elevate Murat Gassiev to 'super' champion when Usyk's vacating is formalized in writing. This series of events opens the heavyweight to new challengers.
