"This will be Usyk's last fight": former world champion announces Ukrainian's future after rematch with Fury

Because there is a limit to every person. Oleksandr's as well, because he works so hard and prepares for fights... Let's see how this fight goes, but I think in any case it will be Oleksandr's last fight. It would be logical," Briedis said.
