Wilder does not consider Usyk the greatest boxer in history

Alexandr Ormanji Jan. 9, 2026, 3:20 a.m.

Deontay Wilder, former world champion, shared his opinion on Alexander Usyk, who may become his next opponent.

"I don't think he is the greatest boxer in history. Everyone who says so is probably his fan. They just have to say it. Those are his people. Probably many from Ukraine say so, but besides them, very few [think so]. Most people don't know boxing," said Wilder as quoted by the Ready to Fight portal.
