Usyk is the most Mentally Strong fighter in Boxing

Usyk has a playful humility to him and he seems like a genuine good guy which is contrary to what you expect from a boxer.

 

That's 8 threads bro

Give it a rest

 

Well, he's a very religious guy and he also does those crazy holding breath underwater exercises (it's about 3 minutes for Usyk) where (in Usyk's own words) after two minutes you're sure you're gonna pass out now and yet still you are not allowed to give up.

 

sounds dangerous.

 

Well, maybe my wording wasn't perfect. "Not allowed" not in a sense that someone is physically holding you, but just if you raise your head from the water too early you fail the exercise.

 

three minutes? isn't the world record around five? doubt 99% of people can do more than a minute, minute and a half tops.

 

I can barely hold my breath for a minute. My lung capacity is only mildly better than David Price's

 

Loma can stay under water for close to 5:00. There is a video with it somewhere.

 

Disclaimer: don't hold your breath under water at home like that, kids!

 

You’d be surprised for an athlete with practise it’s not that hard.
Freedivers can do over ten minutes.

 

Sounds great but can he spin like Wilder?

 

Not even close...I could do near 4 minutes when I was younger...haven't timed myself in 20 years...but look at this ****....
