Oleksandr Usyk has revealed that he has already determined the precise moment he will hang up his gloves and is preparing for life beyond the ring by venturing into overseas property development.
The undefeated heavyweight champion, who turns 40 this year, is partnering with Avalon Bali Group on residential projects across Thailand and Bali.
The Ukrainian, who became undisputed champion in two weight classes during his decorated career, is channelling his considerable ring earnings into a diversified business portfolio through his Ready to Fight platform.
His property investments centre on a "performance living" concept, combining high-end accommodation with wellness amenities and branded training facilities called Usyk Gyms.

The Bali flagship project will integrate serviced apartments alongside sports facilities, wellness areas and smart-home technology, with a Usyk Gym serving as the centrepiece.
These properties will link to the Ready to Fight digital ecosystem, where the RTF token is designed to provide functionality for boxers and may eventually grant access within the property network.
