On June 22, 2026, the World Boxing Council (WBC) reaffirmed the guidelines of its Clean Boxing Program (CBP), an initiative launched in 2016 and extended to women's divisions in 2019, emphasizing athlete safety and the eradication of prohibited substances. Previously, on June 17, former heavyweight title challenger Derek Chisora suggested that a potential fight between Oleksandr Usyk and WBC mandatory challenger Agit Kabayel would only materialize if promoter Frank Warren offered a premium financial incentive. Earlier, on June 15, Tyson Fury advised his brother Tommy Fury to pursue the WBC cruiserweight title following Tommy's victory against Eddie Hall. Also on June 15, Agit Kabayel was mentioned as a possible opponent for Tyson Fury if a bout against Anthony Joshua did not proceed. This followed Mike Tyson’s public statement on June 14, where he advocated for Oleksandr Usyk to face Agit Kabayel next amidst ongoing uncertainty surrounding the heavyweight champion’s future plans, a stance Tyson conveyed in a video on Kabayel’s Instagram.
