Not Fury, Canelo, or Lomachenko: Usyk named the best boxer in the world
The unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) considers the American middleweight Terence Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) to be the best boxer on the planet. At the same time, he called his recent opponent Tyson Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) the king of Great Britain.
Usyk expressed this opinion when answering a question from a journalist from TNT Sports. The corresponding video was published on the broadcaster's YouTube page. Oleksandr was asked to name a few names in boxing:
– Who is the best boxer in the UK?
– Tyson Fury.
– The best boxer in the United States?
– Terence Crawford.
– Who is the best boxer in Europe?
– Daniel Lapin.
– Who is the best boxer in the world?
– Terence Crawford.
– The best young and promising boxer in the world?
– Lapin. Daniel.
It should be noted that Usyk himself has recently been named the best heavyweight boxer of the 21st century. This happened after the Ukrainian's triumph in the rematch with Fury. The fight ended with Oleksandr winning a unanimous decision with a score of 116-112 three times.
In addition, it became known what result was recorded by artificial intelligence. This angered Tyson, who called himself the strongest with a difference of at least three rounds. After the fight, he was "disqualified."
Promoter Eddie Hearn disputed the score of the rematch between Usyk and Fury. In turn, the British media found out what Tyson was told before the 12th round of the fight. Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) also reacted to the result of the fight.
At the same time, impressive statistics of the opponents' punches in the fight were published. A photo showed what Fury's face looked like after 100 missed punches from Usyk.
After the victory, the Ukrainian boxer decided on his next opponent and also made a confession about his revenge fight with Tyson.
Paris Fury's reaction was also caught on camera when Oleksandr was announced as the winner of the rematch with Tyson. In addition, the fight was featured in a famous cartoon. And in Russia, fake words of the British about Volodymyr Zelenskyy began to spread. The Ukrainian was suspended from boxing.
As OBOZ.UA previously reported, a video of what Tyson Fury wrote on the flag of Ukraine after his defeat by Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch has appeared. The fees of the rivals for the second fight also became known.
Manager Egis Klimas said when Usyk plans to return to the ring. Artificial intelligence has already predicted the Ukrainian's fight.
