Unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk gave his ideas on his previous British opponents throughout his profession.
Apparently, Anthony Joshua was nowhere to be seen on the gifted champion Usyk’s checklist, making it clear that he doesn’t charge him extremely in expertise, foot motion, energy, or common potential.
It’s comprehensible, given how Usyk outsmarted him in each fights, leaving him a shattered, unglued fighter after their second combat in 2022.
Usyk’s Finest & Worst
Hardest Puncher: Derek Chisora
Quickest: Tony Bellew
Finest Defence: Tyson Fury
Finest Footwork: Tony Bellew
Finest Boxing IQ: Tyson Fury
Best Combat: Joe Joyce
Hardest Combat: Tyson Fury
Usyk’s comment that Chisora was his “hardest puncher” is fascinating, provided that he fought Joshua and Daniel Dubois, who appeared to have much more energy than Derek.
Dubois had Usyk on the canvas with a physique shot of their combat in August 2023, and plenty of followers believed that it was a authorized shot, not a low blow, because the referee had dominated it. Chisora by no means had Usyk down or damage of their combat in October 2020.
Controversial Fury Combat
Throughout the interview with Boxing King Media, Usyk stated that he felt the referee had “saved” Fury within the ninth spherical of their combat on Could 18th when he pushed him out of the way in which, stopping him from touchdown a ultimate punch to attain a knockout.
Followers have extensively criticized the referee for his resolution to step in simply when Usyk was ending a badly damage Fury within the ninth spherical. There’s no different manner of taking a look at that combat than to view it as an asterisk, seeing it as an precise knockout loss for Fury. It’s a modern-day Jack Dempsey vs. Gene Tunney Lengthy Depend contest. Usyk would have knocked Fury into the subsequent galaxy with out the referee saving the 6’9″ stricken fighter in his second of want.
When Usyk was informed that Fury deserved the win 8-4, he acknowledged that he believed he had gained 7 rounds and earned the win. Nevertheless, Usyk nonetheless felt that he would have knocked Fury out within the ninth spherical if not for the referee stepping in to stop him from touchdown the coup de grace ultimate punch.
Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) will meet in a rematch on December twenty first, and hopefully, that combat will show as soon as and for all who the higher fighter is between the 2. I don’t have a lot hope for Fury.
It should finish badly for him on this one as a result of Usyk will put it on him with mixtures and be sure that a referee doesn’t swoop down to save lots of Fury like final time.
