Oleksandr Usyk is seriously impressed by sparring partner and MMA champion Yaroslav Amosov.
Usyk is currently in a full training camp as he prepares for a huge undisputed title rematch with Daniel Dubois on July 19.
Usyk wants White to sign 28-1 Amosov after their recent sparringGettyThe Ukrainian has been taking on a series of drill and even bringing in sparring partners to give him valuable rounds.
One of those is Amosov, a Ukrainian MMA fighter who has fought under the Bellator banner and carries a professional record of 28-1.
The pair were pictured together with gloves on and looking exhausted, having likely gone toe-to-toe in some training action.
Usyk also posted a video of the pair on his social media, clearly enjoying the talented prodigy’s company.
And while stood next to the rising star, he made a request for Dana White to sign him to the UFC.
He said: “Hey guys, we had sparring experience for world champion from Bellator, Yaroslav Amosov.
“This is a future world champion, UFC Dana White, please send a contract, bro. I’m serious.”
Amosov was on a frightening 26-fight winning streak until 2023.
But he was beaten in emphatic fashion as he was KO’d by Jason Jackson at Bellator 301 in November that year.
He has since returned to winning ways on CFFC picking up a victory over Curtis Millender in March.

And after departing Bellator, he explained that he intends to sign with the UFC and win a world title.
He said: “Yes, we have a plan to go to the UFC.
“I want to show the world I’m a good fighter, and I will be champion.
“I want to show the defeat it’s just a mistake. I will show this world [it’s a] mistake.
“I’ve trained with many guys for many years, and I feel I can do this. I will take this belt.”
AFPUsyk is one of boxing’s modern greats and his request could become reality[/caption]It is unclear if any interest will materialise and become official, but for now it seems a dream.
Usyk himself has surprisingly indicated in the past that he’d be open to a switch from boxing to MMA.
He even suggested he would be open to facing YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in the cage.
