The former world champion in four weight categories, the legendary Roberto Duran, shared his impressions of Oleksandr Usyk’s victory over Tyson Fury.
Duran believes that Usyk, despite the championship titles, has room to move and progress, reports Boxing News.
“You are a gentleman and a professor.” The legendary boxer turned to Usyk after his second victory over Fury
“A good fight. Usyk did what he had to do and won a great victory. I believe that Alexander could have won by knockout
Usyk is a good fighter. He is young and can achieve much more in boxing. If he plays more defense, he’ll go down in history even more,” Duran said.
Duran is one of the strongest boxers of the 1970s and 1980s. He was recognized as the best lightweight of the 20th century. Many authoritative boxing publications have included Duran in the top 10 boxers of all time.
On the night of December 21-22, in a rematch, Usyk defeated Fury by unanimous decision and retained the super heavyweight championship. In May, in the first fight, the Ukrainian won by split decision of the judges.
Fury defiantly declared that he won both fights against Usyk.
After the fight between Usyk and Fury, Dubois entered the ring to the Ukrainian and demanded a rematch.
It was reported that tennis legend Boris Becker expressed admiration for Usyk and mentioned Ukraine.
The Ukrainian was also congratulated by the former Russian world chess champion Harry Kasparov.
