This cements his legacy as going into ur bedroom and do ur wife, mums and daughter all in front of you, and doing so gentle and skillful like, you thank him for the opportunity to watch. Figuratively. We all know the story but still somewhat stunning to write down that he won all of his world title fights on the road, Glowacki in Poland, Hunter in US, Huck in Germany, Breidis in Latvia, Gassiev in Russia, Bellew and Joshua in UK plus Witherspoon and Chisora in their home town. Take a bow.
Definitely YES. The greatest road warrior of all time and the greatest cruiserweight of all time. And imo top 10 heavy of all time especially if he beats fury
Not entirely sure about the metaphor but yes, hard to think of anyone else that has achieved as much fully "on the road"
Usyk is a credit to the sport. Fights anyone, anywhere and wins too. Usyk is now legitimate top hw, I think Fury would beat Usyk but even that is not a certainty.
One of the most remarkable things about this man is his complete lack of fear of losing a bad decision in another man's country. He left no doubt the way he closed the show in the 12th last night. Brian Mitchell and Pedroza come to mind as other great Champs that fought almost exclusively on the road but what Uysk has done is on another level. We are truly witnessing something special with this fighter.
If there's ever been a fighter as of late that deserves a homecoming/to fight at home, it's this guy.
Yeah. Pretty much all of those guys he fought in their backyards are legit bangers or KO artists and he hasn't even really been hurt by any of them, let alone dropped or stopped. Plenty of boxers out there try to swerve punchers and stepping out of the protective sanctuary of the home country because they know it increases their chance significantly of getting KTFO or losing, whether via hook or crook. And some fighters categorically refuse to ever travel to their opponent's backyards. He is completely fearless.
