Ukrainian boxing star Oleksandr Usyk is considering a return to the cruiserweight division, aiming to become undisputed champion before retiring from the sport. Usyk's adviser, Sergey Lapin, revealed the plans, stating that the 39-year-old former heavyweight champion wants to fight for a vacant cruiserweight world title before unifying the belts against undefeated American David Benavidez. This move would mark a return to the division where Usyk first achieved success, winning 16 fights and becoming undisputed champion. Usyk's career has been marked by impressive victories, including two-time undisputed heavyweight champion titles. He has a 25-fight undefeated record, with notable wins over Britons Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, and Daniel Dubois. Benavidez, 29, holds the WBO and WBA cruiserweight titles and will face Poland's Michal Cieslak for the WBC belt on 5 December. The IBF belt is currently vacant after Jai Opetaia was stripped of it in March. Usyk's potential return to cruiserweight is seen as a final chapter in his illustrious career, with 2027 targeted as the year for this final push.
