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 22-0 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.
Now, Usyk aims to beat Tyson Fury for a second time in their highly anticipated rematch on December 21st, which the best UK boxing betting sites are favouring him to do. Usyk won the first fight against ‘The Gypsy King’, and is fully expected to do so again in their heavyweight rematch.
Prior to the second Fury fight, Oleksandr Usyk boasts an impressive boxing record of 22-0. Of these 22 wins, Usyk has secured 14 stoppage victories, with eight 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.
The Oleksandr Usyk Record Of 22-0 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 10 more world title fights.
Of his 11 fights with world titles on the line, Usyk has won each and every one of them. Usyk has not tasted defeat ever as a professional boxer, and has proved that he is one of the elite fighters of this generation.
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 cruiserweight Michael Hunter in his own back yard in the United States.
Usyk then again travelled to his opponents back yard, this time travelling to Germany to face Marco Huck. The Ukrainian won the bout via 10th round stoppage, which was indeed the first round of the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) at cruiserweight.
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 at heavyweight. The Ukrainian beat Chisora via unanimous decision, before facing ‘AJ’ in December 2021 for the WBA-Super, 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. However, 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 for the first time since Lennox Lewis.
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. 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 the 21st century. Of that there is no doubt.
