Unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has claimed that Tyson Fury is the best fighter he has ever faced.
Usyk managed to inflict the first defeat of Fury's career in May, and now the two will meet in a huge rematch this coming Saturday live on DAZN PPV.
The Ukrainian is no stranger to facing boxing's biggest names. On the road to becoming an undisputed champion at cruiserweight, he beat the likes of Mairis Briedis and Murat Gassiev in thrilling contests.
After making the move to heavyweight, Usyk has beaten the likes of Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois to cement his place as one of the best operators in boxing's most popular division.
When it came to Fury, Usyk had plenty of praise for Fury's skills inside the ring and labelled him the best opponent he's gone up against during his 11 years in professional boxing.
"I think so, yes," Usyk told DAZN's Ade Oladipo.
"He’s big, got good skills, his mind, he’s like a snake."
For Usyk, a win could see him bring his boxing career to an end, whilst Fury has made no secret that if he was to get revenge against the defending WBA, WBO and WBC champion, a trilogy fight will take place in 2025.
