World Boxing Council , World Boxing Association (WBA), and International Boxing Federation heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk said he will have three more fights before retiring from professional boxing.
"I'm going to have three more fights. Rico (Verhoeven) is the first, the second is whether Wardley or Dubois wins, and then my third fight is against my friend Tyson Fury," Oleksandr Usyk.
The Ukrainian boxer will open his final three fights against Rico Verhoeven in a voluntary title defense.
While the decision drew criticism from heavyweights who deserved to face him, Usyk said the fight against Rico was a genuine one.
"Rico is not a good boxer, but it doesn't matter if it's just an entertaining fight," Usyk said in response to the criticism.
