Has there ever been a fighter even remotely like Usyk?
Has there ever been a fighter even remotely like Usyk?
He has very limited English but manages to be the funniest, most likeable bloke in the sport. He's the one fighter Fury has no chance of riling, and will potentially look an idiot trying to.
He has killer dance moves and clowns about but has the badass air of the one henchman that Bond shits himself and waddles away from.
He didn't want to talk about a rematch and how he'd stick it to Joshua twice as bad like pretty much every other fighter on the planet would have, he just wants to spend time with his wife and kids.
Can you think of any fighter of the past or present who is in any way similar?

He’s defo a unique fan favourite. The whole look in the week leading up to the fight he reminded me of Charlie bronson/Michael peterson.
I do think Fury could get under his skin if he bothered to try, but it would likely mean being quite disrespectful and I think Fury may have too much respect for him.

Re: Has there ever been a fighter even remotely like Usyk?
Hard not to like him. There's a good video on YouTube about his "I am feel" catchphrase.
Re: Has there ever been a fighter even remotely like Usyk?
Eddie needs to get him better at English because I think we’d happily adopt him here. He looks like a bloke who holidays at Pontins.
“I’m feel, I’m very feel”

Re: Has there ever been a fighter even remotely like Usyk?
Very feel, but Fury still beats him.
Re: Has there ever been a fighter even remotely like Usyk?
Loma?
He's feel.
Uysk is very feel.
The Joker suit at the final presser was 10 times beter than Fury's Batman

Re: Has there ever been a fighter even remotely like Usyk?
Yeah - a lot of the great fighters (who are confident in their abilities) tend to let their personalities come through in one way or another, which makes them charismatic.
Muhammad Ali has to be the most obvious one, his rhymes that he came off with, goading his opponents, predicting the round of his victories...
Tyson Fury is the same - he expresses it through his antics (Batman beating up the Joker), saying "you lost to a fat man" to Wlad, dancing with cheerleaders and singing "You are the wind beneath my wings" and "American Pie" in public training sessions...
With Usyk it's the funny faces that he pulls and his juggling...

Both Ali and Fury displayed a nasty side out of the ring. Usyk is all fun outside, badass talent inside.Crease wrote: ↑28 Sep 2021, 19:24Yeah - a lot of the great fighters (who are confident in their abilities) tend to let their personalities come through in one way or another, which makes them charismatic.

The fact he isn't fluent in English is what makes it all better.
He can put sentences together, yes, but boxers tend to learn English eventually..
Loma, Canelo come to mind.

Loads in the past , before everyone started behaving like school kids at weigh in and press conferences.
Usyk has proven to get into someone's head you don't have to have handbags

He beat a hybrid Bruno/Audley Harrison and now he’s greater than Ali.
