JAKARTA - Oleksandr Usyk made plans to retire. However, before closing his gloves, he wants to fight three more times and hopes that two of them will fight against big names.

Usyk is now 35 years old and he is well aware that the end of his career is near.

"I can compete three more times", he explained, quoting Marca, Friday.

Usyk wants to fight the world's best boxers and then have his last fight in Ukraine before retiring.

"The most realistic thing is being in my best form. With Fury, Canelo, and the farewell fight at Olympiyskiy," he continued.

Usyk then said he just needed to beat Fury and it's time to retire because the unification of the heavyweight belt is more important than just a title fight or defend the title.

"I want to beat Fury and I don't want to work that much just to defend the other belts. There's much more I can achieve."

Not only Fury, Usyk also said that one of the fights he wanted was against Canelo.

In addition to the Mexican fighter, he once said he was willing to fight Usyk, this duel also has the potential to generate high pay for it.

"He (Canelo) said he wanted to fight me. It would be a strange fight just to get money."
