Oleksandr Usyk is only planning for two more fights in his career

Oleksandr Usyk expects to only have two more fights in his boxing career.

The Ukrainian fighter has become undisputed world champion at both cruiserweight and heavyweight during his unbeaten career in the ring and plans to hang up his gloves in the near future - although he does want to another world title fight against the winner of the bout between Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker.

Usyk told Sky Sports: "I will fight who will win, Joseph Parker, Daniel Dubois, no problem."

The boxing great admits that he expects to retire in the next two years and will only compete once more after his next fight.

He said: "I think two years, one and a half [left in boxing]. I feel great myself. I feel I have two fights to prepare [for], not more. Just two."

Usyk's promoter Alex Krassyuk recently suggested that the world champion could take on countryman Wladimir Klitschko - who has expressed an ambition to become the oldest-ever heavyweight title holder despite retiring in 2017.

However, the fight is dependent on the outcome of the world championship bout between Dubois and Parker later this month.

Krassyuk told talkSPORT: "We don't know what is next. Many things depend on Parker vs Dubois.

"But we also heard from the media that Wladimir Klitschko has a will to become the oldest heavyweight world champion ever.

"Beating the record of George Foreman. There is no decision taking, but it is a dream kind of plan.

"It is just a thought, it is also an opportunity and a possibility as we have heard from Turki Alalshikh.

"You can see how many scenarios are possible for Usyk next, but many things will depend on the result of Dubois vs Parker."
