Usyk’s rise to prominence can be attributed to his exceptional skills, technical prowess, and ability to dominate opponents. He became the undisputed cruiserweight champion in 2018, holding the WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO titles. Usyk’s victories in the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) cruiserweight tournament, where he defeated top contenders such as Murat Gassiev and Mairis Briedis, further solidified his status as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. In recent years, Usyk has moved up to the heavyweight division, where he has continued his success, notably defeating Anthony Joshua to become the unified heavyweight champion.
