    Oleksandr Usyk and his manager Egis Klimas appeared on the "3KDR (3 Knockdown Rule)" podcast and were interviewed by Mario Lopez and Steve Kim.

    During the interview, Usyk confirmed Tyson Fury was his toughest fight so far.

    I would have thought so too but I have read people here claiming Joshua gave him a harder fight.

    Good that Usyk has confirmed things.

    I would have guessed Briedis since that fight was actually close.

    No point guessing. Usyk confirms himself it was Fury.

    Says Chisora was the hardest he's been hit

    Favours Crawford to beat Clenelo

    Bivol to beat Beterbiev

    Says he might move back down to CW after the Belly rematch because it's really hard for him to have to eat and train so much to maintain the weight to campaign at HW

    I think Usyk beat Fury by wider margin than he beat Briedis but Fury fight was tougher for him and more exhausting physically

    It's not like he's got a rematch to sell or anything......

    I am probably the only one but I would love to see him move back down to cruiser.

    Fury, Joshua and Dubois are three of the top four, and he has beaten them. Only Parker has the combination of resume and current heat to add to his legacy, but Uysk would probably get stuck with the winner of Joshua-Dubois instead over the IBF belt instead. What would be the point of that?

    No interest in Kabayel and Zhang. They are good challenges, but don't add anything to his legacy at all.

    Who else is there?

    He should go back down to cruiser where he can do whatever he wants. Pick up a title from anyone and fight the winner of Bivol-Beterbiev!
