Usik considers possible options for the next fight: who could be his opponent

Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usik plans to have one final fight before retiring from professional boxing. His team has ruled out a third bout against Tyson Fury, stating that the chapter with Fury is closed after Usik's two victories over him. Usik previously expressed interest in fighting Deontay Wilder, a former world champion from Alabama, and both fighters seem open to the match. Promoter Dana White hinted that a Usik-Wilder bout could happen, likely in the United States due to ongoing conflict in Ukraine making a fight in his home country impossible. Usik aims to retire with all major titles secured and has ambitions beyond boxing, focusing on family, helping Ukraine, and supporting the development of Ukrainian sports.
