Unified world boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk has revealed plans to fight three more bouts before ending his career. The Ukrainian boxer named the opponents he wants to face next.
As reported by Champion, Usyk said he takes his upcoming fight against Dutch fighter Rico Verhoeven seriously.
“For me this is a real fight. Yes, Rico is not a very good boxer, but it’s fine. It’s a fun fight. But the next bout I want to have is against the winner of the Daniel Dubois – Fabio Wardley fight,” Usyk said.
According to the boxer, he plans to have three fights.
“I’m going to have three fights. First — Rico. Second — whoever wins the Wardley vs Dubois fight. Third — my friend, greedy belly Tyson Fury,” Usyk said.
Usyk’s next fight will take place on May 23 in Giza, Egypt. The WBC championship belt will be on the line in the bout against Rico Verhoeven.
Fabio Wardley has previously stated several times that he wants to fight Usyk. The Ukrainian boxer has already defeated Tyson Fury and Daniel Dubois twice each.
