Undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk could return to the cruiserweight division after his rematch with Tyson Fury in December.

The Ukrainian became boxing’s first four-belt undisputed heavyweight champion with a split decision victory over Fury in Saudi Arabia in May.

The 37-year-old will face Fury again on 21 December, but could then decide to drop down to cruiserweight again.

“I think maybe after the rematch, I am going to go down in weight to cruiserweight. I want more [fights at] cruiserweight,” Usyk told the ‘3 Knockdown Rule’ , external podcast.
