Oleksandr Usyk, who turned 39 in January, has shared his thoughts on ending his combat sports career. The Ukrainian heavyweight is scheduled to face kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven next weekend in Egypt for the WBC belt. Usyk indicated that finishing his career after three more fights would be appropriate timing. The bout represents a crossover challenge as Usyk transitions from boxing to test himself against one of kickboxing's elite champions.
