Former world champion Carl Froch believes that the absolute champion has nothing more to prove in the ring.
Alexander Usik needs to end his professional career and hang up his boxing gloves. This advice was given by former world champion Carl Froch.
According to him, Usik has nothing more to prove in boxing, as he has become an absolute champion in two heavyweight divisions.
“All Usik will do is retire, or he will have a rematch, or he will retire.
For me he is the best of the generation. Usik is the main one, he is the leader of the pack. If you look back at this generation of heavyweights, you look back and say: “Alexander Usyk is the main man, he dominates.”
It’s time for him to finish his career, he did everything he needed to, earned enough money, mastered the game. There is nothing to do. Absolute cruiserweight champion, absolute heavyweight champion, he’s 37 years old, approaching 40.
When I retired, I was almost thirty-seven. Usyk is at that age where I know how you feel in training camp and how you feel in the seventh and eighth rounds.
He succeeded in boxing, hung up his gloves. This is my advice to him. I don’t think he has anything more to prove; Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and other heavyweights could fight for the number two position,” said Froch of talkSPORT.
Let’s remember that Usik’s victory over Fury brought him the absolute heavyweight championship. The fight went all 12 rounds. Usyk won by split decision – 115:112, 114:112, 113:114.
It was previously reported that Usik was suspended from boxing after the fight with Fury.
