Former world champion Chris Algieri believes that the absolute world champion is afraid of losing.
Alexander Usik was afraid of losing in the heavyweight division, that’s why he decided to change the division. Former junior welterweight world champion Chris Algieri thinks so.
In his opinion, the Ukrainian has already defeated all the strongest in the heavyweight category, and therefore fans may not understand the defeat of a Ukrainian from a boxer of a lower class.
“Usyk is not a guy who will joke. There are reasons why he wants to go down to cruiserweight and you have to believe him.” He doesn’t want to fight other heavyweights. He is tired of dealing with big boys, he says he always finds it difficult to save money.
If Usyk beats Joshua or Fury, that’s understandable, but if he doesn’t beat Zhillei or Parker, one might ask. Zhang and Joseph are difficult opponents for Usyk, especially the New Zealander, who, due to his style and ability to work on his feet, is a difficult opponent for Alexander. Therefore, Usik’s return to cruiserweight is very possible,” ProBox TV quoted Algieri as saying.
We remind you that an opponent has already been found for Usika in the case of a change in weight category.
