Oleksandr Usyk eyeing Jon Jones for potential final boxing match

Oleksandr Usyk is considering Jon Jones and Deontay Wilder as potential opponents for his last boxing fight later this year in the United States. Usyk recently vacated his IBA, WBC, and WBA heavyweight titles but intends to have one final contest before retiring. He achieved a controversial last-minute stoppage victory against kickboxer Rico Verhoeven last month. Jon Jones, the former UFC heavyweight champion, has expressed interest in transitioning to boxing after retiring from MMA in 2023 and has been vocal about his desire for a fight.
