Undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk cemented himself in boxing and sports history last Saturday night.
He beat Tyson Fury for a second time, this time by a unanimous points decision.
Speaking after the fight to Ring Magazine Usyk was asked about the greatest sportsman and athlete that ever lived, Michael Jordan:
“Listen Michael Jordan for me is a big person, is a big legend, is a motivated person because I read a lot of information for Michael Jordan. My favorite movie is Last Dancing, you know Chicago Bulls, I am supporting. Listen, my first caps, were Adidas, original Chicago Bulls. I win (it) an original. I win with the cards, you know, play cards, Trinka, it’s a place with money it’s like a bet. I win an original cap Chicago Bulls. It’s my first original cap. I have original Chicago Bulls t-shirt (jersey) number 17 on it with ‘Usyk’ — Chicago Bulls gave present to me when I was 2019 when I do boxing my first heavyweight fight in Chicago. Listen, it is the best team Chicago Bulls. This is best player Michael Jordan”
The fight in Chicago Usyk refers to above was in October 2019 when he defeated Chazz Witherspoon at the Wintrust Arena.
Big things ahead for Usyk in 2025 and for the sport of boxing with him as the undisputed heavyweight champion.
