February 13, 2025 World Heavyweight Champion Usyk Plans Two More Fights Before Retirement

World heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has revealed that he intends to fight twice more before retiring from boxing.

The 38-year-old Ukrainian, who remains undefeated, confirmed that one of his final bouts will be against the winner of the upcoming clash between Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker later this month.

Usyk made history in May 2024 by defeating Tyson Fury to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion in nearly 25 years. Though he later vacated the IBF belt, he still holds the WBC, WBA, and WBO titles.

“I think I have one and a half, maybe two years left in boxing,” Usyk told Sky Sports. “I feel great, but I see only two more fights ahead of me.”

He also expressed no hesitation in facing the winner of Parker vs. Dubois:

“I will fight whoever wins—Joseph Parker or Daniel Dubois, no problem.”

English fighter Dubois, the reigning IBF champion, previously lost to Usyk in 2023 but is determined to avenge that defeat if he overcomes Parker in Riyadh on February 22.

“I’m improving every day. They say winning a world title makes you better, and I feel that’s happening with me. I’m ready to take on whoever comes next,” Dubois told Sky Sports.
