Terence Crawford names the man he wants Oleksandr Usyk to face for his final fight

Undefeated heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk is reportedly planning to retire after one final farewell fight. While former WBC champion Deontay Wilder is currently targeted as his opponent for a March bout in New York City, pound-for-pound star Terence Crawford has expressed a different preference. Crawford shared on social media that he wants to see Usyk face newly-crowned WBC heavyweight champion Agit Kabayel instead.

Usyk decided to retire to protect his undefeated record after a challenging bout against kickboxer Rico Verhoeven. Meanwhile, Kabayel is expected to announce his first title defense in Germany soon, following the withdrawal of his scheduled opponent Nelson Hysa.
