Thabiso Mchunu exclusively for Telecom Asia Sport
Without a doubt, Usyk is one of the greatest boxers in history. Before his last fight, I told the guys that Usyk would win. They came up to me later and confirmed that I was right. Yes, I really support him. When he moved up to heavyweight, I also believed he could become the undisputed world champion. Right now, there are no boxers who can defeat Usyk.
For context, Oleksandr Usyk fought Thabiso Mchunu in 2016, where the South African lost by knockout in the ninth round. Mchunu was knocked down in the sixth round and twice in the ninth. After this fight, Usyk became the undisputed champion in both the cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions.
