“Which of the modern heavyweights would I fight? That's a good question. I would fight everyone. I'm not afraid of anyone. I think Usyk and I would have had a great fight. How would our fight have gone? I always see myself as the winner.
Maybe he sees himself as the winner too, but there are different aspects of the fight that we both have. He moves well, I move well. I have a good jab, he has a good jab. So it would be a good fight,” Lewis said in a commentary to ezetalkssports.

Recall that on the night of December 22, Usyk won in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia)Tyson Fury won a unanimous decision (three times 116-112) and defended his WBA, WBO, WBC and IBO heavyweight titles.
Unlike the first fight, the Usyk-Fury rematch did not involve the title of absolute world champion, since Alexander had previously renounced the IBF title. Now it is owned by Briton Daniel Dubois, who has already managed to defend it by knocking out his compatriot Anthony Joshua.
After Usyk's victory over Fury in the rematch, Dubois climbed into the ring and challenged the Ukrainian to a fight. Alexander agreed and asked to organize a fight with Daniel, whom he had previously knocked out in August 2023.
According to the manager of the Ukrainian champion Egis Klimas, Usyk will have his next fight approximately at the end of July or in August 2025. For now, Alexander is waiting for the result of the title fight between Dubois and New Zealander Joseph Parker, which will take place on February 22 in Riyadh.
