The Oleksandr Usyk record is one of the most impressive in modern boxing history, having conquered both the cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions as the undisputed king.
Oleksandr Usyk Record
Oleksandr Usyk is widely regarded as the best heavyweight on the planet. He became the first undisputed world heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis, and the first ever in the four-belt era.
The Ukrainian boxer is entering the twilight of his career at the age of 37, but he has more big nights left and could cement himself as one of the greatest heavyweights to ever live before he eventually calls it a day.
Oleksandr Usyk is one of the best fighters in the world right now, as well as being a pound-for-pound boxing great. Not only is Usyk undefeated with a perfect 23-0 record, but he has conquered not one, but two weight divisions.
Becoming a two-division world champion is tough enough, never mind becoming the undisputed champion in two weight classes added every belt on offer to his collection. All of this in the two heaviest weight classes against some of the biggest punchers in boxing history. The Oleksandr Usyk record really is something special.
In the aftermath of his rematch clash with Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk boasts an impressive boxing record of 23-0. Of these 23 wins, Usyk has secured 14 stoppage victories, with nine of his fights going the distance.
The only men to go the distance with Usyk are of course Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Derek Chisora, Murat Gassiev, Mairis Briedis, Michael Hunter and Krzysztof Glowacki. There is no doubting that Oleksandr Usyk is a truly special fighter.
The Oleksandr Usyk Record Of 23-0 With 14 KO’s Is One Of The Best In Boxing
Oleksandr Usyk first fought for a world title back in September 2016 when he defeated Krzysztof Glowacki via unanimous decision to win the WBO World Cruiserweight Title. Since then, Usyk has fought in 11 more world title fights.
Of his 12 fights with world titles on the line, Usyk has won each and every one of them. Usyk has never tasted defeat as a professional, and has proved that he is one of the elite fighters of this generation. This includes being both favourite and the underdog with the best UK boxing betting sites.
During Usyk’s reign as champion down at cruiserweight, he fought some incredible champions and some stern tests. Usyk beat the likes of Thabiso Mchunu in his first defence, before beating undefeated American Michael Hunter in his own back yard.
Usyk then travelled to his opponents back yard again, this time facing Marco Huck in Germany. The Ukrainian won the bout via 10th round stoppage, which was indeed the first round of the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS).
Of course, Usyk went on to win the tournament, defeating Mairis Briedis in the semi-finals in a world title unification, before defeating Murat Gassiev in the final to become the undisputed cruiserweight champion of the world.
The 37-year-old made one more defence before moving up to heavyweight, conclusively knocking out Britain’s Tony Bellew in eight rounds. Then, Usyk began his career up at heavyweight with a seventh round stoppage victory over America’s Chazz Witherspoon in October 2019.
Then came the Derek Chisora fight for Usyk, which was his final fight before stepping up to world level and facing Anthony Joshua for three of the four world title belts. The Ukrainian beat Chisora via UD, before facing ‘AJ’ in December 2021 for the WBA, WBO, IBF & IBO World Heavyweight Titles.
Oleksandr Usyk Is A Two-Weight World Champion & Two-Division Undisputed King
Usyk put on a brilliant display against ‘AJ’, beating him via unanimous decision in Joshua’s hometown of London. This of course led to a rematch the following year in Saudi Arabia, in a fight that was much closer. Usyk was again the man to get his hand raised, making a successful first defence against Anthony Joshua in their highly-anticipated rematch.
Usyk then added yet another Brit to his resumé, knocking out Daniel Dubois in Round 9 of their fight in October 2023. That win of course finally set up the first Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk clash, which would crown an undisputed world heavyweight champion.
It was the Ukrainian who reigned supreme, extending his unblemished record to 22-0 with a split decision win over ‘The Gypsy King’. The fight was close, but a knockdown in Round 9 for Usyk and a strong finish to the fight most definitely won it for him.
This mean Oleksandr Usyk became a two-division undisputed champion, adding all four recognised heavyweight belts to his trophy cabinet as well as doing the same six years prior at cruiserweight.
In his rematch with Tyson Fury seven months later, the Ukrainian once again got the job done, this time winning more convincingly by unanimous decision. The Ukrainian solodified himself as the greatest heavyweight of this era after back-to-back wins over Fury.
That takes us up to now in the professional boxing career of Oleksandr Usyk. The 1987-born Ukrainian heavyweight is one of the best fighters of this generation, and will go down in history as one of the best fighters of all time. Of that there is no doubt.
