Vladimir Klitschko called Alexander Usik the best boxer in modern history
Former Ukrainian boxer Vladimir Klitschko appreciated the victory of compatriot Alexander Usik over Briton Tyson Fury in the fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion. His words are quoted by Boxing Scene.
Klitschko called the victory historic, and Usik the best boxer in modern history. “Can you imagine the pressure that was put on him? He demonstrated that he was good at cruiserweight. And then he surprised the whole world, although he is not so tall, not so heavy and not so long-armed,” he said.
On the night of May 19, Usik defeated Fury in a fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion in Saudi Arabia. The fight lasted all 12 rounds. It ended with Usik winning by split decision – 115-112, 113-114, 114-113.
This is Fury’s first defeat in his professional career after 34 wins and 1 draw. Usik won his 22nd fight in the professional ring and remains undefeated.
