The famous British boxer Joe Joyce appreciates the world champion’s contribution to the development of the super heavyweight division.
Alexander Usik is a phenomenal boxer and he has contributed a lot to the super heavyweight division. This is what the Ukrainian’s former rival Joe Joyce said.
At the same time, the British boxer noted that the unified champion is not a heavy fighter by nature, so it becomes increasingly difficult for him to get into the ring against big fighters.
“Usyk definitely has a phenomenal boxing mind, footwork, timing, and he put in a dominant performance, aside from the controversial Dubois punch. Has Usyk started to decline? I don’t know, because he hasn’t been good here. fight like he did in the past, with the number of punches thrown.
But perhaps he chose a different tactic. He probably felt he didn’t need to throw a lot of punches, but usually stopped Dubois with a jab.
Yes, Usyk is getting older, and he’s obviously a natural cruiser, not a heavyweight. Maybe things changed a little bit when he had to do more and gain weight,” Joyce told Pro Box TV.
Let’s remember that Tyson Fury previously said that Usyk lost to Dubois in the title fight.
