Heavyweight Oleksandr Usyk, 39, is in talks with Dana White's Zuffa Boxing for a farewell fight against Deontay Wilder, 40. Despite vacating WBA, WBC, and IBF titles, Usyk insists he hasn't retired and wants 'one last dance'. His team director, Sergey Lapin, confirmed discussions with Zuffa, which aims to challenge boxing's traditional model by sanctioning its own champions.

Wilder, a former champion past his peak, would accept the fight if offered. The potential event would require alignment on venue, broadcast, and scale. Usyk controversially stopped Rico Verhoeven in May, forfeiting title defenses for Wilder.

Lapin called America the logical choice, though details remain fluid.
