WBC lightweight champion (up to 61.2 kg) American Shakur Stevenson (21-0, 10 KOs) shared on his social networks that he revisited the fight of Oleksandr Usyk against Michael Hunter. He was impressed by the boxing skills of the Ukrainian.
"Watched Usyk vs. Michael Hunter. Not gonna lie, Usyk is so cool-headed, it's gonna be really hard to beat this guy," Shakur wrote on his Twitter.
Usyk and Hunter met in 2017 in a fight for the WBO cruiserweight belt (up to 90.7 kg), which belonged to Alexander. The Ukrainian won by unanimous decision. Usyk's next fight will take place on May 18th in Saudi Arabia for the status of the undisputed heavyweight champion against Tyson Fury.
