OLEKSANDR USYK has revealed he will fight just twice more before retiring.
The world champion beat Tyson Fury for a second time in December last year.
Usyk’s initial win over the Gypsy King in May saw him become the first undisputed heavyweight world champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.
He has since vacated the IBF belt and beaten Fury again, with the strap now in the grasp of Daniel Dubois after his wins over Filip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua.
Dynamite is next in action against Joseph Parker on February 22, with Uysk looking to fight the winner.
But the Ukrainian told Sky Sports that going again to be undisputed would be his penultimate bout, saying: “I think two years, one-and-a-half [left in boxing].

“I feel great myself. I feel I have two fights to prepare, not more. Just two.
“I will fight who will win, Joseph Parker, Daniel Dubois, no problem.”
Usyk vs Dubois would be a rematch of the 2023 bout that saw the current champ win via a ninth round knockout.
The dust-up was not without controversy after the 38-year-old hit the canvas after a punch which was deemed to be a low blow from the Brit.

Dubois seems equally up for a second go at Usyk, saying: “Run it back. My next fight I’m working towards [is Usyk], I’m ready for it now.
“I’m just getting better, improving. They say when you win a world title you improve. So I feel like that’s what’s happening with me.
“I’m ready to show what I can do again and conquer whoever they put in front of me.”
Usyl has also broken his silence on Tyson Fury’s latest retirement.
He told talkSPORT: “I don’t think about it but I think it is not true.
“Once Tyson has relaxed, and rested, maybe Tyson will be back.
“Boxing if you do this for a long time: 10, 15, 20, 25 years then boxing is like a drug.
“If you don’t go to training one day then you feel dead. For me, at least.
“I train every day. I don’t do boxing every day. Sometimes I do crossfit, and running training. “I only do boxing when I am in my camp.”
