Usyk’s best boxer of this era, says Apochi

“I’ve known Usyk since the Baku 2011 Amateur World Championship. “He’s undefeated for a reason, and he’s by far the best boxer of this era,” stated the microbiology graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, who has lost once in 12 fights since turning professional alongside his friend and another heavyweight prospect, Efe Ajagba, in 2017 after winning laurels for Nigeria at the amateur level for several years.

Usyk defeated Fury by a split decision in the rescheduled undisputed heavyweight championship to unify the WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO, and Ring heavyweight champions.
