“World heavyweight champion plans to stay in the ring until he turns 41”, — write: sport.ua
The Ukrainian boxer is currently negotiating a fight next year and does not yet plan to hang up his gloves.
“I’m sorry, I can’t tell you with whom we agree on the next fight, but I will say that it will be in 2026. I do not want to fool you and call the names of opponents. I will definitely fight until I am 41 years old,” said the boxer.
It is worth noting that on January 17, 2026, the world champion from Ukraine will turn 39, which means that fans will be able to watch the title boxer’s fights for at least the next two years.
The last time Usyk entered the ring was in July, when he knocked out the British Daniel Dubois in the fifth round. The victory in this confrontation allowed Alexander to take the IBF title from his opponent and become the absolute world champion.
