“Tyson Fury is better than Anthony Joshua. I have confronted Joshua twice, and I can confirm that Fury is higher than Joshua,” said Oleksandr Usyk. Both British boxers were defeated by USYK on the journey to become USYK's absolute champion.
Another boxer of Heavyweight is mentioned by Usyk is Derek Chisora. According to Usyk's sharing, Chisor is the most powerful fighter in this weight that he has ever met. USYK likened Chisora's punch to the same force as a baseball player's stick, and made him difficult.
In the weights below, USYK said he was interested in the confrontation in the near future between Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez. From USYK's perspective, Crawford will win Canelo if both meet. This is also the reason that Canelo is not willing to fight Crawford.
Back to Heavyweight, USYK said he no longer appreciated Deontay Wilder as before. This boxer has just lost to knock-out against Zhang Zhi Lei (China) in the nearest stage. “Simply put, Wilder is an outdated boxer at this time,” Usyk shared briefly.
Five years ago, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder are both keeping unbeaten competition on the professional boxing playground. They are considered the “golden triangle” dominating the weight of Heavyweight. Meanwhile, USYK is still in Cruiserweight.
Since then, Fury has received the first defeat. Joshua even lost 3 matches, Wilder lost 4 matches and no longer had the opportunity to return to the top. As for Usyk, he built a position with the title of absolute champion, acquiring all prestigious belts and an unbeaten record 22-0.
Another interesting information about USYK is that he wants to go down to the Cruiserweight in the near future. If he continues to win against Fury in the rematch, USYK will aim for absolute championships both at the same time. This is also what he has done in the past.
