The three-time Olympic medalist explained why Usyk is better than Muhammad Ali

Zhan Beleniuk compared Oleksandr with legendary boxers”, — write: sport.ua

Three-time medalist of the Olympic Games Zhan Beleniuk spoke about the legacy of the Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk.

“In the cohort of the greatest, Muhammad Ali stands a little apart because of his civic position in the social and political processes that were taking place in the United States at the time. This is what makes Ali so great, although he was, of course, an outstanding athlete.

But in terms of professionalism and sports achievements, Usyk has already surpassed Ali, Foreman and Lewis. They had defeats, but Sasha did not, besides, he was becoming an Olympic champion. Foreman is legendary because he traveled a very long distance in boxing – from Ali to Mike Tyson, and became a champion at the age of 45. All these boxers are legendary in their own way, including Usyk.

It would be interesting to gather the greatest boxers of different eras in their best form and hold a tournament between them. That would be a sight! I think Usyk would have a great chance of winning in this competition,” said Beleniuk.

Earlier, Mike Tyson’s ex-trainer told whether Usyk was equal to Muhammad Ali.
