- An Olympic champion, gold medalist at the world and European championships with an amateur record of 335 wins to 15 losses, Oleksandr Usyk has quietly taken over the heavier divisions of boxing. Born in Simferopol, the southpaw fighter is nothing short of a master boxer, described by myboxinglife.com as 'clinical', Usyk is known for his footwork, slickness and his incessant 'pawing' jab that confuses opponents. Very much of the continental European school of boxing, he's a pound for pound king and always value to watch.
