Nobody has yet come close to handing Oleksandr Usyk a professional defeat.
The Ukrainian great is just the second man behind Evander Holyfield to become undisputed at both cruiserweight and heavyweight, having brushed aside a number of challengers to date.
Since moving up to the banner division, Usyk has beaten Daniel Dubois, Anthony Joshua twice, and most recently Tyson Fury on two occasions, reaffirming his place as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet.
Boxing fans have been debating who could potentially give Usyk his toughest test, with some suggesting now IBF champion Dubois could do better in a rematch, while others feel that current unified cruiserweight king Jai Opetaia could cause problems if he moved up.
Former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis has now given his view, asked by IFL TV who he thinks can beat the Ukrainian and not coming up with any names.
“Let me tell you. Usyk trains so hard and so well. He’s prepared for everybody, even for Tyson Fury he basically said I’ve got to outpunch you and he trained that way.
“Each person that he fights is going to be a guy that he’s going to say this is what I need to do to you to win.”
With Lewis seemingly tipping Usyk to defeat all comers, he may wish that the 37-year-old follows in his footsteps and bows out on top and retires whilst still world champion.
Lewis hung up the gloves in 2004 after a stellar career, vacating the WBC heavyweight title in the process, and Usyk has now had his say on whether that could be an option for him.
