Shannon Briggs – About Usik: “No one in boxing history did so”

The former world champion compared the strength of Ukrainian boxer and legendary Evander Holifield”, – WRITE: Sport.ua

Former World Heavyweight Champion Shannon Briggs compared the power of Alexander Usik (24–0, 15 KO) and the legendary Evander Holifield, who was at his peak:

“Usik is just different, the fighters are now others. They began to throw more strokes, the game has changed: now it all depends on physical training, and cholifield – a car. Previously, more attention was paid to skill, now it all depends on physical training.

You can be technical four, five, six, seven rounds, but if this guy puts pressure on you and you can’t stop it, it’s like running a car at a high speed. You lose and go to hell. And they continue to grow like a Usik, it continues to grow. In the twelfth round, it continues to throw strokes, as in the first. No one else was able to do so in boxing history, ”Briggs is sure.

On the night of July 20, Usik went to the ring against the British Daniel Duba in a revenge, which took place in London at the Legendary Wembley Stadium. The Ukrainian boxer knocked the opponent in the fifth round and became the absolute world champion.
