Usyk Predicted to Retire Undefeated

Hall of Famer Lennox Lewis has suggested that Oleksandr Usyk, the current undisputed heavyweight world champion, will conclude his career without a defeat, as reported by international media on Tuesday.

Usyk, a remarkable talent of this era, has solidified his place among boxing’s elite, attracting numerous fighters eager for a title opportunity against him.

He stands alone as the only boxer in history to achieve the status of a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion during the four-belt era, having triumphed over British boxers Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, and Daniel Dubois.

Regarding Oleksandr Usyk’s next fight, Fury wants a third fight next year. At the same time, content creator Jake Paul has challenged the Ukrainian to a fight in the MMA.

Lewis stated that no one could defeat Usyk.

“I don’t see anyone in the division beating him right now,” Lewis said.

Despite the claim, Lewis also noted that Usyk’s WBO mandatory challenger, Joseph Parker, is the most deserving contender for a title shot against the Ukrainian champion.

“I think Joseph Parker has the best chance right now. Joseph Parker needs that next fight, so get him in there. I don’t know why he hasn’t had it yet,” Lewis added.

Usyk secured a fifth-round knockout victory against Dubois at Wembley Stadium on July 19, claiming the heavyweight undisputed champion title for the second time.

The Ukrainian boxer has made history as the first to achieve undisputed champion status for a third time, following his previous wins at cruiserweight (2018) and heavyweight (2024).
