Mike Tyson Calls Usyk the Best Heavyweight in the World

Former undisputed heavyweight champion, 58-year-old American Mike Tyson, shared his thoughts on who he believes is the best heavyweight boxer in the world.

He named the WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBO champion, Oleksandr Usyk. Yet, Tyson doesn’t think the Ukrainian champion will win his next fight.

"Usyk is the best heavyweight in the world at the moment. But I believe Fury will beat him.

Why? Because I’m a fan. Because his father gave him my name. I won’t abandon him now," Tyson said.

The rematch between Usyk and Fury is set for December 21 in Saudi Arabia. In their first fight, Oleksandr claimed victory by unanimous decision.
