Tyson Fury v Oleksandr Usyk: Ring Of Fire - Fight Night

Born on January 17, 1987, Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk, a Ukrainian professional boxer, has enjoyed significant success in the boxing world. He has won multiple world championships in two weight categories, including the unified heavyweight title in 2021. He also holds the Ring magazine title since 2022 and the International Boxing Organization (IBO) title since 2021. Usyk’s popularity soared when he became the undisputed cruiserweight champion from 2018 to 2019, becoming the first boxer in that division to hold all four major world titles.
