Barker on Usyk: "He's Already in the Hall of Fame"

Former world champion boxer Darren Barker discussed the legacy of WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO heavyweight (over 90,7 kg) champion Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs).

"If Usyk beats Fury, we are talking about one of the most outstanding boxers of all time. He's an absolute champion in the heavyweight division, and he could become an absolute champion in the super heavyweight division.

That would be incredible. He is undoubtedly already in the Boxing Hall of Fame, that's a given. But we're talking about him becoming one of the most outstanding boxers. This fight will give us everything. It's historic," said Barker.

The fight for the undisputed world heavyweight title between Oleksandr Usyk and WBC titleholder Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) is scheduled for May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
