Oleksandr Usyk is planning on just one more fight before hanging up the gloves and sailing off into the sunset, and the Ukrainian icon has confirmed who he is targeting for his ‘last dance’ and why.
During the aftermath, Usyk announced his decision to vacate all three of his heavyweight world titles and to have one last dance before retirement, with former WBC heavyweight ruler Deontay Wilder deemed by many to be the frontrunner for the opposing corner.
In an interview with All Out Fighting, Usyk confirmed that ‘The Bronze Bomber’ is his targeted opponent because he is a ‘dangerous guy’.
“This is a man who, in the last 10 years, has been a top fighter, a world champion.
Usyk vs Wilder could be set to take place in either December 2026 or early 2027, as the Ukrainian calls time on an illustrious career.
