Oleksandr Usyk could retire from boxing immediately after his controversial win over Rico Verhoeven last month.

What happened?

The boxing heavyweight world champion defeated kickboxing legend Verhoeven when the fight was stopped in the penultimate round.

Verhoeven later lodged an appeal after the referee waved the fight off after the bell sounded.
But the Dutchman was unsuccessful as Usyk held on to his belts.

Why it matters for Oleksandr Usyk

The Ukrainian is currently negotiating with mandatory challenger Agit Kabayel.
But his advisor Sergey Lapin has admitted his countryman could hang up his gloves.

Lapin told Snabbare that serious offers and the right commercial structure are needed for the fight to happen.
He stated that Oleksandr has earned the right to carefully evaluate every option.

What comes next?

A decision will be made by the end of this week regarding Usyk's future in the sport.
Lapin said that clarity is coming very soon and it is possible that fans have already seen Usyk in the ring for the last time.
