Former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world Mike Tyson commented on Oleksandr Usyk's prospects in boxing during the era of Mike, Holyfield.
“I would be happy to fight Usyk. Holyfield would give him a great fight. It's a different era. To beat us, you have to kill. It's hard to get the better of these guys without a scratch on your face. We are different fighters. We were more active than the current generation. In my time, titles were defended four times a year. Now these guys defend their titles once every two years. Usyk is quite active for a modern heavyweight. We were warhorses fighting to the end,” Tyson's words are quoted by The Ring magazine.
