Usyk will help Makohonko hold the most important fight of her career.

Kira Makohonko will not be able to hold an official fight in London

Young Ukrainian athlete Kira Makohonko was preparing for her brightest debut. The fight of the 17-year-old star was to take place in front of thousands of fans. The match involving Kira is connected to the rematch of Dubois against Usyk, reports the portal Novyny.LIVE.

The Ukrainian did not meet the requirements to hold the match

The Ukrainian was supposed to hold her first professional fight in London on July 16. However, due to age restrictions, the rules of British boxing did not allow Kira to participate in the official match. The organizers wanted to place the Ukrainian's fight just before the main duel of the evening, but British Boxing Control denied her entry to her professional debut citing age restrictions.

The planned performance of Makohonko will take place as an exhibition fight

The match will still take place, but in the status of an exhibition. Formally, the result will not be included in the official record, but the fight itself will be full-fledged and scheduled in front of the audience as part of an open training session on July 16. Details about the opponent and the format of the fight are kept secret. It is known only that both athletes successfully passed the weigh-in procedure on July 15, and the fight will take place as planned.
