Kyrylo Sidelnikov, six-time world champion in combat sambo, expressed his admiration for Oleksandr Usyk's victory over Daniel Dubois. The 36-year-old former Bellator fighter highlighted Usyk's exceptional skill and dominance over his opponents in a recent interview.
"I think Usyk proved even before this fight that he is the greatest boxer of all time. He was already a legend of world boxing and an Olympic champion. Alexander is an extremely skilled athlete, a true professional, and a superstar of the discipline. He's at the pinnacle of heavyweight boxing," Sidelnikov stated.
The Russian fighter's comments come after Usyk knocked out Dubois in the fifth round on July 19, collecting all the championship belts in the heavyweight division. This victory cemented the Ukrainian's status as the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
Interestingly, following the match, Usyk named potential future opponents in the ring. The fight's statistical breakdown and judges' scorecards were also published afterward, showing the Ukrainian's dominance throughout the bout.
Lennox Lewis, the legendary heavyweight, also shared his assessment of Usyk's triumph. Meanwhile, social media erupted with emotional reactions to the Ukrainian's decisive victory over Dubois.
Before the fight, Ukrainian national team footballer Mykhailo Mudryk found himself in a controversial situation. Additionally, information surfaced about Usyk's ranking among the greatest heavyweights in boxing history.
Will Usyk's reign as the undisputed heavyweight champion continue uninterrupted? The boxer has already made definitive statements about his career continuation, despite rumors that he might be stripped of his absolute champion status.
