OLEKSANDR USYK has revealed he could vacate all the heavyweight titles if he defeats Tyson Fury in their historic unification fight.
Fury and Usyk meet in the heavyweight division’s first four-belt unification bout next Saturday in Saudi Arabia.
And the bout looks to crown the only champ to hold all four WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO straps.
Usyk achieved the amazing feat at cruiserweight before moving up to the blue-ribband division.
But he has hinted at moving back down again in the future.
He told TNT Sports: “Maybe I will go back to cruiserweight and win.”

The pair were originally set to fight on February 17 until Fury suffered a cut in sparring that required over ten stitches.
And Usyk joked that the eccentric Gypsy King deserves an “Oscar” if he faked the injury as he talked up his own preparations for the bout.
He said: “There will be only one champion.
“I feel incredible, as good as I did at the 2012 Olympic Games. Just as young and energetic, and with a big desire to move forward.
