“When the Ukrainian was close to the fiasco”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
On July 19, at Vembib in London, the United Kingdom, there will be a fight for the absolute championship in overweight between WBA, WBO, WBC, 38-year-old Ukrainian Alexander Usik (23-0, 14 KO) and the 27-year-old 27-year-old (14, 14).
On the eve of the potential third conquest of the absolute championship by Usik, it is time to remember the most difficult matches in his career.
Alexander Usik MD 12 Miris Bryadis
January 27, 2018
Riga, Latvia
Before this duel, Usyk had already become a world champion in the territory of Pole Glovatsky, who had not lost before. Meet Marko Huuk in his territory. But to beat Michael Hunter in the United States. But it was this departure to the rival’s territory that became the most difficult.
Alexander then did not go. The opponent turned out to be really strong: fast, accurate and ready to change with Ukrainian. And he felt a full range of problems. Among others, there was a dirty style of fighting the Latvian.
Of course, Usik won. Where did one of the judges draw a draw? Who knows. Yes, competitively, saturated on events, close. But Bryadis simply gave Alexander’s best battle at the time, but did not get to victory or draw.
However, it was difficult. For the first time in a professional career, Usik himself demonstrated – you can fight with him. In all senses.
Alexander Usik TKO 8 Tony Bellew
November 10, 2019
Manchester, United Kingdom
Tony Bellew did his best to spoil the Usika first this evening, dropped weight. He disagreed to go to the ring within the horseship category, but came to the form, returning to Cruzerweit.
Secondly, he really prepared. He did not go for money, but wanted to become an absolute world champion. And he fought for this title.
The first rounds were anxious. Bellew changed the racks, provoked the Ukrainian, threw many power strikes. To miss one such one – and you can be knocked out. Fortunately, Alexander did not miss.
In the eighth round, the match ended in the most beautiful knockout in Usik’s career. But before the middle of the confrontation, there was a reason to worry.
Alexander Usik Ud 12 Derek Chisora
October 31 2020
London, the United Kingdom
In general, not the most successful duel. Usik still weighed less than one hundred kilograms, and the rival caught a new breath and went out to win a claw of Cruiserweit.
Derek was very confident and acted as if he was ready for everything that the opponent could offer. At least, part of the time he showed himself that way.
Over time, Chisora began to lose his strength, and Usik only raised the pace and the multifaceted attack. And he won – the judges did not even doubt.
But the overall chisora, which is rushed to the rival, trying to literally crush, was a reason for reflection. Many after that duel finally buried the chances of Usik on the championship belt.
Alexander Usik SD 12 Anthony Joshua

Jedda, Saudi Arabia
There was nothing in the revenge. Not in the battle, but around. The Russians attacked Ukraine full, Usik lost weight and was going to go to the terroboron. The return took place in a new country with a brand new climate. The rival was preparing: hired a new trainer, motivated to prove that the defeat in the first battle was a mistake.
But there was simply not in the ring. Anthony hit, pressed. At some point, closer to the end of the confrontation began to smile – because he thought he had already got to the opponent.
But no. Usyk stood and won for the second time.

Alexander Usik SD 12 Tyson Fury
May 18 2024
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
The second match was perfect for the Ukrainian, unlike the first. After the starting starting rounds, Fury began to hit. It is lateral, then straight, then appercot. All these are big problems for Usik, as it turned out. Moreover, against such a giant.
The Ukrainians kept their breath. Indeed, the situation looked critical. It looked as if fury would only add and add.
