Oleksandr Usyk Reveals Jon Jones and Deontay Wilder as Final Fight Targets
Oleksandr Usyk has revealed that he wants either UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones or former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder to be the final opponent of his legendary boxing career.
The undefeated Ukrainian has previously said he plans to retire after one more fight, and his latest comments have immediately sparked excitement across both boxing and MMA. While many expected Usyk to face another top heavyweight contender, the undisputed champion instead named two of the biggest names in combat sports.

Can Either Fight Become Reality?
A crossover clash with Jon Jones would be one of the biggest events in combat sports history, although the UFC champion has never competed in professional boxing. Meanwhile, a showdown with Deontay Wilder would see Usyk take on one of the hardest punchers the heavyweight division has ever seen, despite Wilder no longer holding a world title.
Both fights face significant hurdles, but Usyk has made it clear he wants his farewell bout to be something special. Having already become the undisputed champion at both cruiserweight and heavyweight while defeating the likes of Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, and Daniel Dubois, the 39-year-old has little left to prove.
Whether it’s Jones, Wilder, or another surprise opponent, Usyk’s final fight is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about events in combat sports.
