Most champions spend years reminding everyone what they’ve achieved. Usyk sounds more fascinated by what comes next.<\/p>\n
Despite holding every major heavyweight title after previously ruling the cruiserweight division, the Ukrainian insists his mindset has never modified.<\/p>\n
Talking to All Out Fighting<\/em>, Usyk said: \u201cFor me I\u2019m each time underdog.\u201d<\/p>\nLegacy barely entered the conversation. Usyk made it clear his remaining time within the ring already has a reputation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI even have last dance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Heavyweight boxing has learned one lesson through the years. Ignore Deontay Wilder\u2019s right hand at your personal risk.<\/p>\n
While some have questioned whether the previous WBC champion still belongs among the many division\u2019s leading names, Usyk refused to overlook him.<\/p>\n
\u201cListen, this can be a man who last 10 years it\u2019s top top fighter, world champion. Yeah. It\u2019s dangerous guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked whether a victory over Wilder would strengthen his legacy, Usyk quickly shifted the main target away from accolades.<\/p>\n
For him, the belts got here due to work, not the opposite way around.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not boxing for glory. For me, it\u2019s just my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
The conversation then moved to Anthony Joshua, whom Usyk defeated twice in world title fights. Time has replaced rivalry with respect, and the Ukrainian spoke warmly in regards to the former unified champion\u2019s willingness to enhance after setbacks.<\/p>\n
When the discussion finally reached a possible Joshua-Fury showdown, Usyk offered a direct prediction.<\/p>\n
\u201cAJ boom. Right hands. Knock them out. Six rounds because AJ my brother.\u201d<\/p>\n
