    Usyks one and only heavyweight fight was against Chazz Witherspoon , ranked #76 by boxrec. And Usyk looked like crap in that fight .

    Because he’s irrelevant in his division?

    Witherspoon got owned by Arreola when Witherspoon was in his prime then down the line Usyk struggled to get him out of there many years later... Witherspoon was just supposed to be a named opponent record padder for Usyk...

    like others have said, don't jump on the Usyk at Heavyweight Bandwagon until he beats a couple Live Bodies!!

    Fury has mentioned him plenty of times

    Usyk isn't proven at Heavyweight, it's a completely different ball game

    That's because Fury is only interested in legacy fights for big paydays now.
