**Oleksandr Usyk and Promoter Alex Krassyuk Part Ways After 12-Year Run**
In a move that’s sent ripples through the boxing world, undisputed heavyweight champion *Oleksandr Usyk* has parted ways with his longtime promoter *Alex Krassyuk*, ending a storied partnership that helped define one of modern boxing’s greatest careers.
Krassyuk, who guided Usyk from his Olympic gold triumph in 2012 to global stardom and undisputed success at both cruiserweight and heavyweight, confirmed the split earlier this week. “It’s been a tremendous journey, filled with history-making moments,” he said in a statement. “Now, it’s time for both of us to explore new paths.”
The timing couldn’t be more dramatic. Usyk, fresh off his historic victory over Tyson Fury to unify the heavyweight division, is expected to face Daniel Dubois in a rematch later this year. With Krassyuk no longer in his corner, questions now swirl about how this change might impact preparations and negotiations for what could be one of the biggest bouts of the year.
The Ukrainian southpaw has not yet announced who will be taking over promotional duties, though insiders suggest the fighter and his team may be shifting toward a more independent structure moving forward.
For Krassyuk, the split marks the end of an era — but also the start of a new chapter. “Usyk is one of the greatest fighters I’ve ever seen,” he added. “I’m proud of what we built, and I’ll always support him.”
One legacy ends. Another begins.
