Oleksandr Usyk is a man that seem to be widely admired by everyone and rarely has any personal problems with any of the fighters he has faced.

There have now been 23 fights in the professional ring, and every single one he has won, without Usyk ever truly looking hurt or touching the ring canvas.

Those contests since he turned pro after picking up a gold medal in the Olympic Games in 2012 have seen him become the undisputed cruiserweight champion in 2018, and the undisputed heavyweight ruler earlier this year in May.

That was the first fight with Tyson Fury which Usyk won on points over 12 rounds, and he repeated that feat on December 21 with another impressive performance against the much bigger man.

Usyk has also beaten four other Brits in Tony Bellew at cruiserweight, and Derek Chisora, Anthony Joshua twice and Daniel Dubois at heavyweight.

Speaking to Boxing King Media, he was shown a picture from social media that depicted him as The Hitman with all those beaten men at his feet and he explained he didn’t like it because all but one of them was his friend.

“I don’t like this picture, because Tony Bellew my best friend. Derek too, maybe Anthony too. Dubois not, Fury maybe.”

Dubois got into the ring soon after Usyk’s latest win and started calling him out for a rematch despite having his hands full with Joseph Parker on February 22.

People argued that the move was disrespectful to a champion who had just finished a hard fight, especially one who has already beaten Dubois by KO.
