Oleksandr Usyk was undisputed cruiserweight champion, and is now one belt short of becoming undisputed heavyweight champion. It's time to recall the pivotal moments of the Ukrainian Joker's career.

    As much as I'm British and should be cheering for Tyson Fury, I hope Usyk beats him. Fury just constantly avoids fights.

      And yeah, Fury does seem to dodge fights fairly regularly. The whole reason Usyk managed to get the WBO title from Anthony Joshua was because Joshua and Fury's camps "could not reach an agreement" about their fight before the time limit ran out, forcing Joshua to have a mandatory challenger fight with Usyk instead. And Fury seems to be doing the same shit with Usyk now too, which is what caused Usyk to have to defend his titles against Daniel Dubois in 2 days.

        Exactly. Even David Haye has more of a vertebrae.

    Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois fight spoilers

    A bit of controversy but IMO that was clearly a low blow so Usyk deserved the full rest period. The TKO was also a bit debatable, but the fault is mostly on Dubois for waiting until 9 before even attempting to stand up. Not the best fight by Usyk in any case, but I don't think Dubois got robbed like so many are trying to say.

    Hopefully Fury stops dodging the damn fight now so Usyk finally gets his chance at being undisputed champ.
