WBC, WBO and WBA heavyweight title holder Oleksandr Usyk (23–0, 14 KOs) named the toughest opponent in his professional career:
“I feel great and am ready to step into the ring with any opponent. My goal is to try to win the fight for the title of absolute world champion again. It is too early to say anything about my career and evaluate me until I hang up my gloves.
The toughest opponent in my career is Tyson Fury. He is very unpredictable and will definitely return to boxing. Perhaps not as a boxer, but in another role,” Usyk believes.
Last December, the Ukrainian boxer defeated British challenger Fury in a rematch. The fight took place in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) – the judges recorded a unanimous victory for Usyk after 12 rounds.
