Exclusive Former Oleksandr Usyk promoter, Alexander Krassyuk, announced the Ukrainian icon with the greatest heavyweight in the history of boxing, despite the parting of couples at the beginning of this year.

Krassyuk, who led Usyk from the undisputed king of weight in the weight with a unified heavyweight champion, made a bold claim when he was asked if the pound star was a pound of the first ten all time.

The biggest ponderous in history

“I can sound biased, but for me it is number one of all time,” Krassyuk said World Boxing News only without hesitation.

Usyk recently strengthened his place among the great ones, defeating Daniel Dubois in July to become a two -time heavyweight champion. The 38-year-old will devote some time to reflection from retirement as a possibility.

Despite the professional division, Krassyuk confirmed that the bond between them remained sturdy. The couple have already started the process of a recent undertaking, which will shoot in front of the boxing ring.

Recent business undertaking

“First of all, we remain friends. Secondly, we launched a vigorous nutrition brand U17. It is now tested in Ukraine and will soon come to Great Britain, Europe, USA and Canada,” revealed a long -term promoter.

“Boxing is in the past, but now we are creating the future.”

Retirement call

Earlier, Krassyuk revealed his desire to let Usyk leave sport, claiming that everything could be won.

“I don’t see how he is fighting, at least in boxing,” said Krassyuk WBN. “He proved it all, there is nothing more to gain.

“There will certainly be some dosseers who again push him to the ring. As a friend, he will make every effort to convince him to retire.”

Usyk and Krassyuk ended their working relations in the summer after more than a decade together. The division was amicable, and both men have now focused on business projects, while Usyk wonders whether to continue his historical run in the ring.
