Summary at a Glance

Oleksandr Usyk has said he intends to fight two more times before retiring from boxing, with his ideal first opponent being Daniel Dubois or Joseph Parker.

The southpaw triumphed at London 2012 before starting a professional career, in which he has stayed unbeaten while defeating Fury and Joshua twice each, as well as Dubois, Derek Chisora, Tony Bellew, Mairis Briedis and Murat Gassiev.

Usyk, who previously held the undisputed cruiserweight titles, already has a win over Dubois, having stopped the Briton in 2023.

Usyk became undisputed heavyweight champion – the first in 24 years – by beating Tyson Fury last May.

"My next fight I’m working towards [is Usyk, after Parker],” Dubois told Sky.
