Oleksandr Usyk: The Heavyweight Champion's Humility | The Ring Exclusive

[@SmokingJoe62]

I feel so privileged to be a boxing fan during Usyk’s era. He’s everything you’d wish for in a champion both inside and outside the ring. Long may he reign 👑

[@The_Reality_Filter]

U+S+Y+K = G+O+A+T

[@ezequielstepanenko3229]

I agree men, for decades I envy those who live in the era of Ali, and thought we would never see anything like it, now I think Usyk has made this the best era of boxing

[@Andrei-Marian]

He can't reign for very much longer, he's nearly 40.

[@jamesbaka1206]

@@Andrei-Marianyou never know. He seems to be getting better every fight and lives a clean lifestyle and professional lifestyle. Never eases off training, consistently disciplined and respects his body, does not drink and go out partying like a lot of famous boxers. He’s a family man who is in bed at a decent time every night, he might have a longer reign than average.

[@ess6387]

Well said. Always believed in him

[@philkensebben2000]

Amazing that he's beating so many UK fighters and yet he's probably the most popular boxer in the UK! I'm from the UK and I love this guy.

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

+1 he's awesome, doing an interview with a toothpick in his ear. Legend.

[@aodoemela]

Because fury is an absolute bellend. Dubois a bit awkward and AJ crashed out and got knocked out.

[@marleywills2160]

He's beaten the odds. Great man and fighter. Elite chin, skills, speed, ring IQ. Definitely the greatest heavyweight in the modern generation

[@chrisp3330]

If somebody gave me the opportunity to sit in a pub and have a pint with anyone in the world of my choice it would be this man - in my lifetime (I'm almost 50) I have never know such an elite sportsman, at any sport, be as humble and genuine as Usyk. A legend both inside and outside of the ring in my opinion. Respect from England, you deserve every single accolade that is ever thrown at you.

[@adamlord3550]

Same here mate. I'm in awe in what this guy has achieved. Let's run over his achievements if he retired now. (Which I think he should as he's achieved everything he needed to achieve.) World gold at amateurs Olympic gold Beat 4 world champions in their own back yards to become undisputed cruiser and won the Ali trophy Moved to heavyweight and cleaned out the heavyweight division and became undisputed. Never been knocked down pro and even more impressive, he would actually be, the only boxer ever to be undisputed at cruiser, move to heavyweight, be undisputed at heavyweight and retire *undefeated* absolute legend, possibly even the greatest ever in terms of achievement in the sport.

[@8swerve]

Yes. That Usyk only wants conversation with his wife over dinner just amplifies our admiration. I hope you get the chance to meet him mate. You sound pretty cool yourself. I think he'd like you.

[@davidoffinski1637]

Being Ukrainian and seeing Usyk become this worldwide legend is incredible. Seeing how people appreciate his personality and Ukrainian jokes is unbelievable. Greetings from Ukraine, guys. Take care🫡

[@netwatcherer]

yep and you have to in way tip your hat for turki for helping bring the opportunity for usyk to fight for his people and show the world who he is even at such a hard time, no one do what Usyk done, fighting for country while so much evil - being a hero for his people and young boys for his people and all around the world - his example he sets for all men - I am very happy for Usyk and to be alive to witness these times

[@alcottdevalte7440]

Usyk has become a global treasure and is the champion we need right now when it comes to showing will, champion mindset and true grit along with discipline and focus as well. Gotta appreciate all the entertainment. He basically did in a few years in this era what other heavyweights of this era couldn't do in over a damn decade.

[@MichaelCorlion]

Absolutely, he’s done what few boxers have done ever: step up from a lower weight class to be undisputed at heavyweight. Love his grit and determination. He seems to be incredibly disciplined. Gotta respect that.

[@Sparkle132]

I love this man! He’s so humble, so talented as a fighter. A great Godly, family man. That is the kind of role model we need today!

[@HBFREEWORLD]

Oleksandr Usyk truly exemplifies the spirit of a champion. His meteoric rise from cruiserweight to dominating the heavyweight division is nothing short of extraordinary. His technical brilliance, footwork, and adaptability make his victories look almost effortless, yet they are the result of relentless hard work and discipline. It's refreshing to see a fighter like USYK who carries himself with humility and respect for his opponents, even in an era where trash talk often takes the spotlight. A true role model in boxing.

i am so pleased that Usyk is getting his flowers now and that everyone is able to see what a generational talent he is.

Jai Opetaia at cruiserweight is a mouthwatering fight.
