British cruiserweight fighter Isaac Chamberlain at one time I managed to visit the training camp of two top heavyweight divisions - Oleksandr Usyk and Deontay Wilder. According to Chamberlain, Usyk impressed him with his boxing intelligence, but at the same time he is sure that in terms of athleticism, the Ukrainian boxer is inferior to the formidable American puncher.
“I would say that Usyk and Wilder are the two best fighters I have been in the ring with. In terms of boxing brains and intelligence, Usyk probably dominates. As for athleticism, Wilder is probably better here.
Usyk is very smart. He is always playing a game of chess. Usyk is a great guy, he gave me a lot of advice on what to do and how to develop my boxing skills,” Chamberlain told Sky Sports.
Recall that on August 20 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Usyk will have a rematch with Anthony Joshua. In September last year, the Ukrainian defeated the Briton by unanimous decision of the judges and took away the championship titles from him.
