Famed Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko spoke about his compatriot, WBA, WBC and WBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.
On December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Usyk will fight a rematch with Tyson Fury, whom he defeated by a split judges' decision in May this year.
"I can compare Oleksandr Usyk to a chess player. With a reigning chess player, with the reigning champion - Magnus Carlsen (the Norwegian gave up the title, but still remains the player with the highest FIDE rating - ed.). Usyk is an incredible strategist. Generally speaking, Alexander plays chess in the boxing ring. No matter how big and strong his opponent is, Usyk has always dominated his opponents mentally and physically," Klitschko told Boxing News.
