Oleksandr utilityk splits from the longtime promoter Alexander Krassyuk, just three weeks before Daniel Dubois Rematch at Wembley, and ask fans: What the hell is going on behind the scenes?
The Rematch was set up: Oleksandr Utilsk against Daniel Dubois on July 19 in Wembley Stadium, Streaming Live on dazn At 7pm UK / 14:00 ET. And now, just a few weeks out, Utsyk has dropped a bomb shot-he is separate from his long-standing promoter Alexander Krassyuk. After 12 years together and two undisputed runs, this breakup was not expected. No drama is broadcast in public, but you have to wonder what’s going on behind the curtain.
As a fighter as surgical and private as utility ways with the man who took him from Olympic gold to Unified in two divisions-just before a heavyweight rematch or a break-it is not ‘business as usual’. It’s a signal. Of what? We guess everyone.
From gold to glory: 12 years, two divisions, and a legacy built in silence
Krassyuk and Utsyk were not a glittering Instagram duo. They worked in the shadows and built something that will fall in history. Utsyk became Pro after London 2012, signed with Krassyuk and K2 promotions, and within ten battles WBO Cruiserweight Champion was handled after handling Krzysztof Głowacki.
Then came the unification tear: WBSS wins Briedis and Gasiev made usyk the undisputed Cruiser king. He went up, everyone doubted him, and by 2021 he made Anthony Joshua look like a sparring partner – twice. He then took Dubois apart in 2023 and took Tyson Fury to school in 2024.
And now, already? Krassyuk places a farewell on Instagram.
“It was a tremendous journey – 12 years of incredible success … In 2013 I gave you my word – and I kept it. At the time, no one believed that we were able to achieve what we wanted to do. ‘
He added:
“By the grace of God we have impossible to complete the mission … a dream come true !!! Thank you for everything we have been through and for the honor of being the lifelong promoter of the double indisputed. ‘
You don’t usually see breakups that sound like they are giving a sermon?
What is the next for USKy – Fans claim answers before London Rematch
There is one reason why it matters: this is the timing. Divide with your promoter weeks before fighting Dangerous heavyweight like dubois? It’s not just ‘cleaning house’. This is a big shift. Either USyk’s closure in full control – or something behind the scenes got ugly, and no one talks.
Can it affect the battle? Perhaps. Probably not. Ulkyk doesn’t need hype. But the right question is: Who calls the shots now? Does he promote himself? Move another team quietly?
Krassyuk helped USyk build usyk in a historical figure-in-bite, one of only three men in the four-rand era to do so. No scandal. No mess. Just legacy. But now he is out, and the silence is harder than any press release.
What is the move now? Doeskyk runs its own show? Did a little big fish slipped into his camp? Can anyone of this throw him away from his game at Dubois? He is joined by the Max, but boxing likes a surprise.
Here’s the most important point: Fans deserve clarity.
