American ex-world champion treats the Ukrainian with respect
Former World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder spoke about his attitude to the current WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. According to him, the Ukrainian showed himself better in the first heavy weight.
“I liked Usyk better in cruiserweight, because of his movements and some other things. As a heavyweight he is also good, but in the first heavyweight he looked better. But that’s just me and my opinion.
I respect Usyk as a fighter and a person. I’ve heard a lot of good things about him. I have never heard any negative statements about him, so I can only judge Usyk from the good side.
Therefore, I have only positive impressions about him. When it’s ready, I won’t waste time,” Wilder said.
