Usyk considering return to cruiserweight after Fury rematch

Oleksandr Usyk, the reigning undisputed heavyweight world champion, has expressed his intention to potentially return to the cruiserweight division after his upcoming rematch with British heavyweight Tyson Fury.

Usyk, who currently holds the WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO titles, secured his status as the undisputed heavyweight champion by defeating Fury in a thrilling split decision at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.

Prior to moving up to the heavyweight division in 2019, the Ukrainian fighter was the undisputed cruiserweight champion.

In an episode of the '3 Knockdown Rule' podcast released on Wednesday, Usyk revealed his plan to drop down in weight and pursue another undisputed title in the cruiserweight division.

He explained that the constant eating required during his training camp as a heavyweight is challenging for him, and he prefers the discipline of the cruiserweight division.

Usyk's rematch with Fury is scheduled for December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he will defend his heavyweight titles.
