About our Oleksandr Usyk news
Latest news on Oleksandr Usyk, providing updates on the heavyweight boxing champion's fights, title defenses, and upcoming bouts against top contenders.
Oleksandr Usyk, the Ukrainian boxing sensation, has established himself as one of the most accomplished fighters in the sport's history. As the undisputed heavyweight champion following his two victories over Tyson Fury in 2024, Usyk has achieved the rare feat of becoming a two-division undisputed champion, having previously unified all cruiserweight titles.
Most recently, Usyk defended his unified heavyweight titles against Tyson Fury in December 2024, securing a unanimous decision victory in their highly anticipated rematch in Saudi Arabia. This victory followed their first encounter in May 2024, where Usyk claimed a split decision win to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era.
Beyond his achievements in the ring, Usyk has become a symbol of Ukrainian resilience during his country's ongoing conflict. When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Usyk joined the territorial defense forces before receiving special permission to leave and defend his titles against Anthony Joshua. He has consistently used his platform to bring attention to his homeland's struggle, carrying national symbols into the ring and dedicating his victories to the Ukrainian people.
Usyk's journey to boxing greatness began with an impressive amateur career, including a gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics. He turned professional in 2013 and quickly rose through the ranks, becoming undisputed cruiserweight champion in just his 15th professional fight. His technical skills, footwork, and orthodox Christian faith have become defining characteristics of his public persona.
