Usyk Names His Wished Retirement Fight and It Will Surprise You

Undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk is looking at planning a retirement fight from boxing soon.

And it is not against someone you might think.

Per Happy Puncher on X via Fight Center, Usyk wants to box UFC heavyweight champion Alex Pereira in his retirement fight.

That is big for boxing once again when you consider where the sport is now, that big UFC names constantly want to fight in either big pro boxing matches or against world champion boxers.

2025 and beyond is bright for boxing, hopefully news on Usyk’s next opponent is soon.
