    Yeah you can just use google. This is partial record of what they have. Not his full record.
    Usyk official amateur record is 350 fights, 350 wins with 15 loses.

    Again Usyk official page on Boxrec has it with 350 fights as well:
    [url]https://boxrec.com/wiki/index.php/Oleksandr_Usyk[/url]
    • Amateur Record: [url]335-15[/url]
    And yeah they have taken the partial record, where it's listed as partial record, from : amateur-boxing.strefa

    Every article and source of his amateur career is with 350 fights, 335-15.
    Usyk is one of the most decorated amateur, so there is nothing crazy about his record.
    Though saying that Loma has more impressive amateur record with 396-1, and being 2 time Olympic Champion in different classes as well.

    You have used one word that sums up Usyk perfectly, accumulation! He is devastating with his accuracy and accumulation of connecting strikes, this more than makes up for his slight lack in power at HW. I'm sure AJ would agree.

    The vast majority of boxer's amateur records on Boxrec are only partial ones

    Loma didn't only have 94 amateur bouts but that's how many he had according to them

    Fury got that killer stare in his eyes, he does not like this man and wants to put the hurt on him. Usyk does look older as he's added some weight, fuller face just makes you look older, I'm sure he will still come in great shape and ready to fight 12 rounds. Really starting to get excited by the prospect of this super fight now.

    still wonder if usyk can take bodyshots and leaning on him for 12 rounds. On the other hand; Fury looked gassed vs Ngannou last rounds (albeit a bit because he was spooked/cautious because of the knockdown). Cant wait for the 17th.

    Have been predicting a Fury win all along and the face-to-face doesn't change that.

    May the best man win. Can't wait.

    Unfortunately they edited out the very start of the FO segment.

    That’s when Fury immediately went at Usyk about his earring and Olek replied to Tyson: -

    “Off my case, toilet face!”

    I feel that Olek’s English has improved immensely over the years where as Tyson’s has deteriorated.

    I think Usyk would understand the importance of punching hard enough to keep Fury honest.

    I’m looking to Usyk punching even more purposefully when the right opportunities arise.

    I believe Olek’s power and its effect is being a bit underrated - especially in accumulative terms.

    The fact that NgAnnou hits very hard might’ve also masked a substantive decrease in Fury’s resilience.

    Whatever Fury’s condition was for Francis, he did take some fair punishment and was made to work harder - certainly he wasn’t able to take luxury in his usual, periodic breaks via clinching, mauling and leaning.

    Of course Olek is a different fighter again and the dynamic will be much different between he and Tyson.
