Usyk Reveals If He Beats Tyson Fury Twice He Will Return To Cruiserweight

Usyk Reveals If He Beats Tyson Fury Twice He Will Return To Cruiserweight

Oleksandr Usyk is already considered an all-time great but this is something that would never have been done.

The very rare few that can go from cruiserweight to heavyweight champion of the world in history, usually stay at heavyweight.

Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of the rematch Usyk said:

“I try cruiserweight again. Yeah, yeah, I try.”

The above was in response to what next in boxing if he beats Fury.

The above may also indicate that the heavyweight division is not a natural one for Usyk and that he prefers the cruiserweight limit.

Good signs for Fury, possibly.
