Teddy Atlas has heaped praise on Oleksandr Usyk after the Ukrainian star became undisputed heavyweight champion against Tyson Fury.
Usyk produced a stunning round nine to turn the fight in his favour and he maintained that form until the end where he was declared a winner on the scorecards.
Atlas, one of boxing’s most respected analysts following a lengthy career as a trainer, had spoken about the fight several times during the build-up.
In the fight’s immediate aftermath, Atlas took to social media to state why Usyk was able to get the job done.
“I said leading up to this fight, the single greatest talent Usyk has is an ability to find a way to win,” wrote Atlas on X.
“And he found it. Great effort & heart shown by both.”
