Usyk would like to break Evander Holyfield's record

[PainfromUkraine]

Ukrainian 2012 Olympic Heavyweight Gold Medallist Oleksandr Usyk (3-0-0 3KO) says he wants to break the record of Evander Holyfield in terms of winning a CRUISERWEIGHT title early in his pro career.

...In turn, the CEO promotional company of Klitschko brothers "K2 Promotions" Alexander Krasiuk said that Usyk and its promoters aim to break the record of the famous American boxer Evander Holyfield, who in 1984 became the winner of the Olympic Games, and in 1986 won the world title in the cruiserweight division in his 12th fight in professional boxing. "Our challenge is to beat the record time as the plan and the number of fights," - said Krasiuk.

Can he do it?

Holy won the Cruiser belt, not heavy. If Usyk is planning to move to heavy, then no way. In cruiser, yes, most likely.

He won the cruiserweight title, not heavyweight.

It's a page translation, probably a wrong translation for the equivalent of the word cruiserweight, but obviously this is about the CW title.

well olympic heavyweight equates to professional cruiserweight

Does he just want to win a belt or become undisputed?

[daggum]

sure why not. if k2 gets him a shot at a vacant belt against a hand picked mandatory like leapai.

Yeah, but anyway, error or not, we all know what this is all about, since he's a CW right now.

The guy has got some real good potential. He's a southpaw, he's active with quite high and varied punch output...he has skills, good chin from what i've seen, and he's still young. He's not huge to be a heavyweight but he will fill out more and he's pretty big for a cruiser. I'd like him to be worked up responsibly and get a belt, then clean out the division if possible and then move up to heavy. He is just 27 years old, plenty of potential for the future if he is moved correctly.
