WBA, WBO, and WBC heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has suggested that he might have his farewell fight against former UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira in an interview with Al Arabiya English on March 17.
The Ukrainian boxer expressed his willingness to take on the Brazilian fighter — but only after his rematch with IBF champion Daniel Dubois.
"Yes, I'd be interested in that, but only after my fight against Daniel Dubois for all the belts," Usyk said.
"We're even considering a fight in the cage. It's a joke, but as they say, every joke has some truth to it."
The heavyweight king has previously disclosed his plans to conduct two more matches before retiring from boxing.
Usyk's most recent bout took place in December last year, when he defeated Tyson Fury in a rematch via unanimous decision.
