Former world champion Evander Holyfield of the United States talked about his conversation with WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk of Ukraine.
I remember I was overseas. Usyk came up to me and said: "I'm going to reach the same heights as you." And he almost did. If he beats Tyson Fury, he will fulfill his promise.
