Oleksandr Usyk wants to end his legendary boxing career with two more big fights.
The 23-0 Ukras confirmed his reign as a heavyweight king by beating Tyson Fury in December.
Oleksandr UsyK now has back-to-back victories over 'The Gypsy King' after he had postponed Anthony Joshua twice before before he has eliminated Daniel Dubois, which has the only excellent big world title in the division.
The WBO, WBC and WBA Heavyweight Champion currently have no opponent – but that does not mean that he does not have a plan for what the next step has.

Usyk wants to become triple undisputed champions before he calls time on his career.
After he had previously won all four large belts at Cruiserweight and heavyweight, he wants to do it again by counteracting the winner of the IBF heavyweight title fight between Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker, which will take place in Saudi -Arabia on 22 February.
Utyk called the Dubois vs Parker winner as his ideal opponent after he has revealed that he is planning to retire soon.
“First of all, it is who will win the next fight on February 22,” said the 38-year-old during an interview with TNT-Boksen.
Slightly shockingly, Usyk revealed that he wants to follow the Floyd Mayweather route for his last fight.
'Money' cashed in from professional boxing with a crossover clash from 2017 with UFC star Conor McGregor.
Usyk wants to do the same against UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Alex Pereira before retiring.
He added: “Then maybe a show fight with Alex Pereira. Maybe. Why not? Alex wants that [fight]. “
Alex Pereira proclaimed Oleksandr Usyk
Pereira recently pointed his sights on a fight with Usyk during an appearance on the Podcast of Rampage Jackson.
'[Boxing] Is something he really wants, “Coach Plinio Cruz translated for his star performance. “But you know, he is a contract with the UFC – we know that McGregor did it …
“He is the champion, so he would like to fight a champion. So oleksandr usyk … he feels that he can do really well. “
Pereira calls Usyk left behind fans in hysteria, because they didn't give him a chance against the pound-for-pound best boxer in the world.
Before that fight can become a possibility, 'Poatan' must defend his belt of 205 pounds on UFC 313 on 8 March.
Streaking competition Magomed Ankalaev is seen by many as the most difficult test of the reign of Pereira.
A defeat on UFC 313 could put an end to all talk about a crossover to boxing to face Usyk in his pension fight.
