Ukrainian boxing sensation Oleksandr Usyk, a three-time undisputed champion across the cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions with an impressive professional record of 24-0 (15 KOs), recently offered a unique perspective on the most powerful punchers he has encountered throughout his illustrious career.
During a recent interview, Usyk disclosed his top five hardest-hitting opponents he has faced in the professional ring. Intriguingly, his number one spot is not occupied by a boxer, but rather by an animal – an incident involving a powerful strike he has recounted in previous interviews.
