In an interesting interview, WBA/IBF/WBO heavyweight champion said he wants to fight WBC champion Tyson Fury, then Canelo Alvarez, before finishing his career with a farewell fight in Ukraine.
[On fighting Tyson Fury] “I only need to beat him. Then that’s it. Time to retire.”
[On fighting Canelo Alvarez] “He wanted to fight with me. But it will be a freak fight, just for the sake of making money.”

Haha what??? Canelo has ZERO chance of beating Usyk!!!
I agree. Those punches from Canelo would not have a great effect on Usyk. I could even say that Usyk can KO Canelo late. Usyk has better stamina than Canelo.
“Could say” Dude he knocks Canelo into the middle of next week. He’s a freakin heavyweight!
Maybe even less than zero!
It’s not about beating Usyk.
It’s about raking in money.
Ok, Canelo will be out of action till September 2023. Usyk would have to get down to 190. In the meantime, Usyk could lose a fight.
Canelo? LOL
Yes, agree….Canelo struggled against Bivol and was schooled. Usyk would batter and school Canelo.
Usyk is being silly. Canelo wld be dumb. Usyk way to big
Canelo would have to eat a LOT of that meat.
Usyk fighting Canelo would be like Canelo fighting Tank Davis. What a ridiculous matchup!
Maybe they could do an entertaining exhibition fight, though. Not serious, just for fun.
I mean, now that you mention it, Tank Davis vs Tyson Fury would be really amusing.
Exactly, why is this idiocy even being talked about?
If Usyk and Canelo go up against each other, I will stop following boxing.
Bivol outboxed Canelo. Usyk is even bigger and better than Bivol.
Usyk vs Bivol would rise some interest, well, maybe, but there are other HW’s to challenge, if Usyk against the odds, would beat Fury.
Canelo fight won’t happen, its kind of crazy to expect him to face Usyk, esp after how Bivol handled him so easy.
He’s not a HW, to be affective and be at the top, MW/ SMW is about his limit I’d think.
How can he target canelo! Bivol destroyed him singlehandanly! Usyk will retire canelo or possible ireversible brain damage if they ever fight unless he gets pay very very well to lose like kavalev, who took a dive for a nice check!
Payday payday payday! Is all Canelo is looking for now. Lost decisively against Bivol and looked not good against 40 year old GGG.
“Retire” I’d like to see Usyk fight Wilder than Fury. Canelo was just running his mouth. He couldn’t get by Bivol. If he’s looking to get KO’d he’d get into the ring with Usyk.
Seriously? Is the entire heavyweight division a joke?
If he fights Canelo that will drop his stock as a great champion to drop down that far in weight to fight a little man.
