OleksandrUsyk
Oleksandr Usyk's unbeaten professional record and cruiserweight-to-heavyweight title collection make him a central figure in heavyweight boxing.
Who is Usyk
Oleksandr Usyk first made his name as a southpaw cruiserweight champion, then carried that same approach up to heavyweight, where he collected world titles from the sport's leading sanctioning bodies. The Ukrainian southpaw has built a professional boxing record of 25 wins, 16 knockouts and no defeats, an unblemished ledger that underlines the control he has exerted across his professional boxing career. Beyond the belts, his honours include The Ring cruiserweight and heavyweight championships, the Ali-Frazier Award, Sugar Ray Robinson Award, The Ring magazine Fighter of the Year recognition and Ukraine's Order of Merit. As the 2026 season unfolds, Usyk is still central to the heavyweight boxing scene, with a cruiserweight and heavyweight title collection that no defeat has interrupted.
