Serhiy Lapin, director of the team of world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (WBA, WBC, IBF, IBO), announced plans for the athlete's return to the ring in 2026.

According to him, the team is working on the project, and manager Egis Klimas will publish additional details in the near future.

Usyk team's plans

I think manager Egis Klimas will soon share something interesting with you. I'll put it this way: in 2026 we will see Usyk in the ring again. Everything in its time

Lapin confirmed that the team intends to return the fighter to active competition and that the details of the upcoming plans will be announced by management.

Latest activity in the ring

Usyk last entered the boxing ring in July, when in a rematch he knocked out Daniel Dubois and, for the fifth — the third time — claimed the status of undisputed world heavyweight champion.

In November the boxer lost his undisputed champion status, vacating the WBO heavyweight title.

In the overall universal standings (pound-for-pound), Oleksandr Usyk currently ranks second among all boxers regardless of weight class.

EU Against Google: Why the Latest Fine Could Change More Than Previous Ones

# European Regulators Target Google Again — This Time Over Digital Markets Act Violations. What's Behind the Accusations and Why It Matters Beyond the Corporation European regulators have renewed their scrutiny of Google, this time focusing on alleged violations of the Digital Markets Act. The charges underscore Brussels' increasingly aggressive stance on big tech monopolies and what officials say are anticompetitive practices. The accusations center on how Google leverages its dominance across multiple digital services — from search to advertising to mobile platforms — to disadvantage competitors. Regulators claim the company is using its market power in ways that stifle innovation and limit consumer choice. The case carries significance far beyond Google itself. It signals how the EU is attempting to enforce its landmark Digital Markets Act, legislation designed to curb the gatekeeping power of tech giants. A potential penalty could set precedent for how other large technology companies face similar scrutiny. For consumers and smaller tech firms, the outcome could reshape the digital landscape by creating more room for competition. For Google, fines and operational restrictions could fundamentally alter its business model in Europe, the world's most stringent regulatory market. The case also reflects a broader geopolitical divide, with the EU pursuing a regulatory approach that contrasts sharply with the lighter-touch oversight favored in the United States.
