The Ukrainian fighter says he only has two bouts left in his career and would consider taking on the YouTuber under MMA rules.

Sergey Lapin, one of Usyk's trainers, told OLBG: "Usyk has always cared only about fighting the best and creating a lasting legacy in the great sport of boxing.

"But in the future, as he further solidifies his place as one of the true great fighters, we'll see what other opportunities open up for him.

"It might be great to step into the cage with Jake Paul under MMA rules, it would be interesting if there is money to be made from it."

Usyk is also considering the prospect of a crossover bout against UFC star Alex Pereira that could be possible with Dana White's venture into boxing with Saudi promoter Turki Alalshikh.

Lapin said: "Also, we never say never about fighting the dangerous Alex Pereira, possibly partnered with Dana White.

"Dana's move to boxing could open the door for more fights between boxers and current UFC stars.

"Dana is a capable guy, and with Turki's abilities, they would create a very interesting project.

"It will bring attention to our great sport, expand the fan base, attract new investment and possibly increase the purses of the athletes."

Lapin explained that Usyk's immediate plan is an attempt to become undisputed again by taking on IFB title holder Daniel Dubois - who he previously defeated in 2023.

He said: "Oleksandr Usyk wants to make his next fight against Daniel Dubois. Dubois is our priority, because he has the belt.

"We are waiting for the date of the fight with Dubois, we assume it will take place in Riyadh or London, one of the world capitals of boxing and Usyk will once again prove that he is the best fighter of our generation."
