"If I were Usyk, I would say I'm going off into the sunset. It would be perfect. You fought everyone, you made a lot of money, you did everything, you represented your country, and you walked off into the sunset. But it's not going to happen. For various reasons. What we do know is that he's great, he's one of the greatest. He is the world heavyweight champion," Atlas said.
