Undefeated heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has a retirement timeline in place.
"I think two years, one-and-a-half (left in boxing)," Usyk said, according to Sky Sports. "I feel great, myself. I feel I have two fights to prepare (for), not more. Just two."
Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) still wants to face the winner of the Daniel Dubois-Joseph Parker bout that takes place Feb. 22.
"I will fight who will win, Joseph Parker (or) Daniel Dubois, no problem," Usyk said.
The 38-year-old Usyk holds the WBC, WBA, and WBO titles but had to vacate the IBF belt, which Dubois is defending against Parker.
Usyk is coming off back-to-back victories over Tyson Fury.
