Giovanni Scuderi, Oleksandr Usyk's sparring partner, compared the Ukrainian to the legendary Mohammed Ali.
"I went through a whole camp with Usyk again and it was an honor to go through it all for the second time. I spent a total of 70 rounds against him. I'm on great terms with all of Oleksandr's team, so not only did I spar with him, but I trained with him too throughout. I heard about how he helps his people, how he helps people in need and I admired him because he is really the Mohammed Ali of our time," Scuderi said.
