Oleksandr Usyk has to fight an icon, says Joe Rogan, who claims he’s the ‘only one’ who can give the champion ‘problems’

Oleksandr Usyk should take on a former heavyweight king, according to Joe Rogan.

The pound-for-pound number one just produced a tremendous display, destroying Daniel Dubois inside of just five rounds.

Now, Robert Garcia would love Usyk to retire at the top of his game.

However, the voice of the UFC believes there’s another match-up out there for the southpaw.

Oleksandr Usyk should fight Tyson Fury again, according to Joe Rogan

Joe Rogan would love nothing more than to watch a trilogy between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.

While the podcaster concedes Joseph Parker has earned a shot, he believes ‘The Gypsy King’ is the only person who can trouble the superstar.

On an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, he said: “People talk about what’s next for Usyk? Should it be Joseph Parker? Yeah, that would be a great fight. Joseph Parker deserves it.

“But what I want to see is one more [fight with Fury], because Fury is the only one that’s given him problems.”

Former world champion says Joseph Parker is a ‘dangerous fight’ for Oleksandr Usyk

Fury is Rogan’s preferred opponent for Usyk’s next bout.

However, a former super lightweight champion would much rather see Parker get his opportunity.

Like many others, he believes the New Zealander has gone above and beyond to get his shot at the throne.

Interestingly, the star believes Parker is a ‘dangerous fight’ for Usyk.
