Overview
- Oleksandr Usyk told The Ring he expects only two or three more fights before retiring.
- Usyk identified Deontay Wilder as his preferred opponent, with reports of talks underway and Los Angeles or Las Vegas under consideration.
- The Ukrainian remains the unified heavyweight champion, holding the WBA, WBC and IBF belts after his dominant 2025 campaign.
- Tyson Fury said on Instagram he will return to the ring in 2026 and posted recent training footage from Thailand.
- Speculation over a Fury–Anthony Joshua fight has resurfaced, though Joshua’s recent car crash in Nigeria that killed two team members and left him with minor injuries could delay any negotiations, and the driver has been charged.
