“I picked Tony Bellew because he is the man that takes the biggest challenges. He is not the usual type of fighter that will come, see how hard it is, and quit. He will come to fight until the end. These are the kind of fights that the world wants to see.”

Ukrainian professional boxer

Oleksandr Usyk is a Ukrainian professional boxer. Born in 1987, he became one of the defining heavyweights of his era, and has 73 quotes on the site. Usyk was undisputed world champion at cruiserweight and later at heavyweight, a rare feat in the modern four-belt era. He was the first male boxer to become a three-time undisputed champion, and he also held the unified heavyweight title from 2021 until giving up his sanctioning body belts in June 2026. He remained undefeated when he relinquished those titles, and is still regarded as the lineal heavyweight champion.
