Oleksandr Usyk says Tyson Fury was the hardest fight of his boxing career.

Also, says Tyson Fury has the best defence and best boxing IQ. AJ ain't nothing but ****. All facts.

It's nice to hear and by the way great thread! Just have to say to people really understand the sport this really isn't a surprise. To be honest... If USYK had said otherwise? Between Joshua and Fury? I probably wouldn't believe him.

Fury is a very tough fight and the next fight these guys do is going to be pretty epic. They both had some real moments there you could see on USYK's face when Fury was bugging him while when he hit Fury good it was pretty obvious.

Also, Joshua is definitely better than the rest of the division. When we see fights like chisora and Joyce Joshua really stands out as exceptional. But there are levels to the game.

Where’s the proof of this statement
Didn’t see chit about this anywhere
I find it hard to believe that after all the crap that Fury talked , Usyk would give him this credit

[elfag]

nobody has ever landed on Usyk like that in the pros. furry was lighting him up for a few rounds there before he gassed. I wouldnt be surprised at all if Usyk said that. Last guy that gave him that good of fight that i have seen was beterbiev in the amateurs and that was more close rounds not dominating rounds like fury had.
