After his victory over Tyson Fury in a rematch, Ukrainian heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk proved everything to everyone in boxing and could have ended his career. However, the champion decided to continue his performances.

The authoritative magazine The Ring invited its readers to choose a boxer who could defeat Usyk.

Martin Bakole

The Congolese Martin Bakole was the most frequently mentioned name by the fans. This boxer has become a real nightmare in the heavyweight division, as other heavyweights try to avoid fighting him.

Martin made himself famous not because of his fights, but because of his long tongue. Bakole helped Usyk prepare for two fights with Anthony Joshua. The Congolese gave Oleksandr very difficult sparring sessions.

However, Martin began to tell the media in interviews that he knocked out the Ukrainian with a punch to the body during sparring. Usyk and his team denied this information, but the fans believed it. Martin is constantly talking and writing about this knockout.

Now many fans believe that Martin is the only boxer capable of beating Usyk. However, their opinion is based on what the Congolese constantly tells them.

Daniel Dubois

Usyk and Dubois first met in 2023 in Wroclaw, and Oleksandr won a difficult fight, knocking out his opponent with a jab.

However, the fight had a controversial episode in the fifth round, when Dubois punched low to the waist, and Usyk fell to the ring with a grimace of pain.

Half of the fans still believe that the punch was legitimate and Dubois should have been awarded the victory. Since the fight, Daniel has become the best, defeating Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic, and Anthony Joshua.

As a reminder, former Dynamo Kyiv footballer Artem Milevsky told how he used to go out with Oleksandr Aliyev.

Ilya Zabarny, the central defender of English club Bournemouth, will change teams for a huge sum of money.

After his second defeat by Oleksandr Usyk, British boxer Tyson Fury decided to change his life.

Dynamo Kyiv wants to strengthen its problematic position with the Shakhtar legend.
