Tony Bellew Includes Oleksandr Usyk in Top 5 Best Heavyweights in History

Ex-world champion Briton Tony Bellew named his top five strongest heavyweights in boxing history. The Briton would place his former opponent Oleksandr Usyk there as well, explaining the reasons.

“My top 5 Heavyweights of all time: Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, Joe Frazier, George Foreman. But I, perhaps... I would, probably, put Oleksandr Usyk there ahead of Frazier.

People won't like that I put Usyk there, because they will talk about his ‘resume’. But his resume is beating men almost twice his size.

He came from Cruiserweight and absolutely tore up the Heavyweight division. And don't say that the division was weak. Tyson Fury could compete in any era. Anthony Joshua too. Oleksandr Usyk could beat almost all heavyweights in history,” said Bellew.

Usyk became the last opponent in Bellew’s career. Oleksandr, in the fight against Tony, defended the status of undisputed champion in the Cruiserweight division. The duel ended in a knockout executed by the Ukrainian.
