DAZN News Daily Round-Up - Usyk's final three fights, Katie Taylor promise and 'Tank' Davis rematch talks

Usyk reveals final three opponents before retirement

Unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has named the three opponents he will face before retiring. 

Usyk will defend his WBC title on May 23 against kickboxer Rico Verhoeven in the main event of a unique fight card at the pyramids of Giza. 

If Usyk beats Verhoeven, then it will be two Brits in his sights before he hangs up the gloves. 

"Rico is first, second is whoever wins between Wardley and Dubois and the third fight is my friend 'Greedy Belly', Tyson Fury," Usyk told Inside The Ring. 

One notable name that was missing from this list is WBC interim champion Agit Kabayel, who Usyk has been ordered to face following his clash with Verhoeven in Egypt. 

Hearn makes Dublin promise to Taylor

The grind does not stop for Matchroom's Eddie Hearn who is hoping to finally deliver Katie Taylor's long awaited fight at Croke Park. 

Taylor does not have much time left in her career, and Hearn is motivated to finally get this particular stadium fight over the line. 

“That’s a s—tload of work to make sure that one of the greatest athletes of all time gets her ultimate dream. And I have to deliver Croke Park. I have to,” Hearn told The Ariel Helwani Show. 

"If I don’t give this everything, if I don’t try my very hardest to make this a reality, I’m not doing Katie justice and I’m not doing myself justice. Because this would be the greatest sporting event ever in the history of Ireland.”

If Hearn manages to secure a date for Taylor at Croke Park, it would be a fitting way for the Irish sporting star to say goodbye to the sweet science. 

'Tank' Davis in talks for Cruz summer rematch

It appears Gervonta 'Tank' Davis is preparing to return in the summer. 

First reported by The Ring's Mike Coppinger, Davis is in advanced negotiations for a rematch with Isaac Cruz. 

Davis and Cruz first fought five years ago for the former's WBA lightweight title. On that occasion, Davis won by unanimous decision. 

If a rematch is made, it will be contested at 140lbs, and will be Davis' first fight since he was arrested at the start of the year after being accused of domestic violence by an ex-girlfriend.
