Oleksandr Usyk has ranked his London 2012 Olympic gold medal glory above his victory over Anthony Joshua last year.
Usyk will take on his next test in the heavyweight division next Saturday when he rematches Joshua at the Jeddah Super Dome, Saudi Arabia. It will be the first defence that Usyk will make of his unified heavyweight world titles after dominating the Briton to win them last September.
The Ukrainian made the switch up to heavyweight in 2019 after reigning as undisputed cruiserweight world champion which is one of several notable achievements in the sensational career of the champion. However Usyk believes his recent achievements will only rank highest if he becomes undisputed king at a second weight. "I consider Olympic gold in amateurs to be the highest achievement in my career," Usyk said when ranking his highest career achievements in an interview with Parimatch.
