As the film industry buzzes with excitement, Jason Statham is set to star in the upcoming film ‘Viva La Madness’. This project, produced by Punch Palace Productions, Lumina Studios, Toff Guy Films, and Black Bear, has been in production since January 2023. The film is expected to be distributed by Black Bear/Amazon MGM, promising a thrilling cinematic experience for fans.
Meanwhile, the boxing world is heating up with significant developments. Frank Warren, a prominent figure in boxing management, recently threatened to sue the WBC if they do not order Oleksandr Usyk to fight Agit Kabayel. This statement comes after Kabayel won the vacant interim belt by defeating Zhilei Zhang in February 2025, marking a pivotal moment in his career.
Usyk is scheduled to face Rico Verhoeven on May 23 in Egypt, a match that has garnered much attention. Following this bout, Usyk has indicated he plans to take on two more fights, neither of which includes Kabayel. This has raised questions about the future of the heavyweight division and the potential for Kabayel to secure a title shot.
Warren has been vocal about Kabayel’s position, stating, “Kabayel’s number one in the WBC, and the fight goes on in Egypt between Usyk and Rico Verhoeven, and afterwards the WBC will have to order the mandatory, and if they don’t, we will sue them.” His determination highlights the urgency for Kabayel to get his opportunity in the ring.
In a further statement, Warren emphasized, “I’m telling you, I’m not going to p— around with this, Agit [Kabayel] deserves his opportunity, he should be in there, and if anyone tries to duck that fight, then he’ll have to vacate, it’s as simple as that. Fight Agit or vacate.” This sentiment resonates with many fans who are eager to see the best fighters face off against one another.
As the boxing scene continues to evolve, the anticipation for Usyk’s fight against Verhoeven grows. Oleksandr Usyk himself has expressed his focus on the upcoming matches, mentioning, “Listen, Rico [Verhoeven] this is first. Second, it’s who wins, Wardley or Dubois and third fight, it’s my friend, greedy belly Tyson Fury.” This statement reflects the competitive nature of the sport and the various dynamics at play.
With Statham’s film production and the unfolding boxing drama, both the entertainment and sports communities are buzzing with excitement. Fans are eager to see how these narratives develop, whether in theaters or the boxing ring.
As of now, details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact timeline for Kabayel’s potential fight with Usyk, but the stakes are undeniably high for all parties involved. The coming months promise to be eventful for both Jason Statham and the boxing world, as they navigate their respective challenges and triumphs.
