OLEKSANDR USYK SIGNED 2019 HEAVYWEIGHT DEBUT BOUT CONTRACT – VS CHAZZ WITHERSPOON – CURRENT WORLD CHAMPION (WBA, WBC, IBF, LINEAL & RING)
Offered here is an exceptional and highly significant boxing artifact: an original three page 2019 bout agreement / boxing contract, hand-signed by Oleksandr Usyk and Eric Bottjer (Matchroom Boxing) on the third page from his fight against Chazz Witherspoon—the bout that marked Usyk’s official heavyweight debut on October 12, 2019, in Chicago.
This contract represents the exact moment Usyk transitioned from undisputed cruiserweight dominance to the heavyweight division, a move that ultimately led him to become the dominant heavyweight champion of the world, holding multiple belts and recognized as the lineal and Ring Magazine champion. The Witherspoon fight was the first step in that historic journey and remains one of the most important milestones of Usyk’s legendary career.
Unlike standard signed photos or gloves, a signed bout agreement is a rare, behind-the-scenes document directly tied to the business and history of the fight itself. Pieces of this nature seldom reach the public market, especially from career-defining events.

• Original 2019 bout agreement / boxing contract
• Hand-signed by Oleksandr Usyk
