- Oleksandr Usyk has earned a tongue-in-cheek invite to resume his cruiserweight career in Gatton after the boxing great's plan to return to the division set him on a path for David Nyika.
- The Ukrainian (25-0) unified the cruiserweight division before wiping the floor of his heavyweight rivals, beating Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and Daniel Dubois twice in the last five years.
