Oleksandr Usyk revealed the four fighters on his hit list in the moments after his emphatic knockout win over Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

Usyk, 38, added the IBF strap to his WBA (Super), WBO and WBC world heavyweight titles with a convincing knockout victory against Londoner Dubois.

The Ukrainian, who is now a three-time undisputed champion across the heavyweight and cruiserweight divisions, was levels above his opponent and ended the contest with a brutal left hand which knocked Dubois down in round five, leaving him unable to continue.

There were questions about Usyk’s future heading into the fight, given the fact that he is now entering the twilight of his career at 38.

But he was still asked who he’d like to fight next during his post-fight interview on DAZN.

The Ukrainian named four fighters in particular, who he’d be up for sharing the ring with.

Speaking about his age, Usyk said: "38 is a young guy, remember! 38 is only the start!

"I want to say thank you to Jesus Christ. I want to say thank you to my team and Wembley, thank you so much! It's for the people.

"Nothing is next. It's enough, next, I don't know. I want to rest. My family, my wife, my children, I want to rest now. Two or three months, I want to just rest."

He then moved on, naming his potential opponents.

“Maybe it's Tyson Fury,” Usyk added. “Maybe we have three choices, Derek Chisora and Anthony Joshua. Maybe Joseph Parker. Listen, I cannot now say because I want to go back home."

Usyk now boasts wins over Britain's Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, Tony Bellew and Derek Chisora alongside Dubois.

The defeated Dubois also gave his thoughts after sustaining a third career loss and a second at the hands of Usyk.

"I have to commend him on the performance, I gave everything I had,” said Dubois.

“Take no credit away from that man, I'll be back.

"I was just fighting, trying to pick up round by round. It is what it is."

Meanwhile, promotor Frank Warren hinted at who out the four names Usyk mentioned could be in line for a shot at the undisputed title.

"Usyk is a modern day legend," said Warren. "In any generation he would be a great fighter. No complaints, the better man won on the night.

"It's Joe Parker's time."
