The World Boxing News is watching thirteen boxers who have won Oleksandr Usyk’s unbeatable two -level champion.
Usyk is the number one box and a pound for the pound of the king. The Broad Ukrainian has never tried a failure in a professional ring. However, in the early years, Uyk was not impossible to overcome as today, when he fought for a comfortable weight class.
He covered at least fifteen losses as an amateur in over a hundred duels, winning bronze at the European Championships in 2006 to start the medal.
These reversions included double defeats with two opponents and losses of at least eleven others, one of the former weight master, Shawn Porter in medium weight. Porter’s defeat led to the lack of qualifying for the 2007 World Championships.
Since 2008, Usyk has focused on global heavyweight awards, which turned out to be a masterful. He won his first significant gold at the World Championships in 2011 in Baku.
After losing to the former champion of the undisputed heavyweight champion Artur Beterbaver in 2007, the Utyk dual for this defeat. However, one hostile managed to stop on it, there was an average weight [Matt] Matvey Korobov.
These failures, no matter how painful, shaped Usyk into a master who is today and put him able to win the Olympic gold medal in London 2012.
His significant recognition is needed, the Usyk Run lasted sixteen years. The last time he tried the losses, he took place at the 2009 World Championships. In the semi -finals, Usyk lost points to Egor Mekhontseva. Mechonstev finally won gold at the same Olympics in a great heavyweight division.
From the time the professionals were lost, Usyk has been indescribable. Two -time winner of the Ring magazine, Utyk became the undisputed massive and unquestionable champion.
His boxing record is 23-0, 14 KO. He took the heavyweight title from Anthony Joshua and defended him three times, once against AJ and twice against Tyson Fury.
Comparisons between Usyk and Evander Holyfield intensify in terms of older rates. However, like Holyfield, Uyk never had it all.
Below WBN looks at Usyk’s reversal in the order in which they took place.
Losses of Usyk
Sergey Sklyarov – [June 2005, Saku Suurhall, Tallinn, Estonia]
Less than a month after the debut, as an average weight in 2005, Usyk lost points with Skylarov in Estonia. What makes the failure really open the eyes is that Usyk, only 18 years aged, was the only Amateur Victory of Sklyarov.
Wawrzyczek won the divided decision about Usyk in the international match of Ukraine vs. Polish. The victory occurred after Wawrzekk at first fought to find an opponent and hardly fought.
“I was called to represent Poland, but the coach of the Polish national team told me:” I’m sorry, Lukasz, but they don’t have any member in your weight section. I was a welterweight, but they were [the Ukrainian Team] He said: “Oh, we have an 18 -year -old boy in the middleweight department. Do you want to fight him? It was Oleksandr Usyk.
“He was already a European junior champion. He was much larger than me, but I said,” Yes, why not, let’s fight “and we. I won the third round and fight. “
Wawrzyczek changed the pro nine months after the fight against Usyk. He liked an eight -year career, but he managed to win national titles during his run between 160 and 168 pounds.
Aydogan from Turkey defeated Usyk at points to win the Bocskai Memorial 2006 final. There is no evidence that Aydogan became a professional after a mixed bag of amateur results.
Mohamed Hikal – – [May 2006, Istanbul, Turkey and October 2006, Baku, Azerbaijan]
One of only two boxers who won more than one victory over UTYKA, Hikal won the Ahmet Comert tournament in 2006 26-11, before he gained a sensational victory 17-8, using all his experience at the World Championships in 2006.
Like Aydogan, Hikal has never become a professional. He defeated Usyk six months after a similar victory over another former pound king for pounds, Gennadiy Golovkin.
Matt Korobov – – [July 2006, Plovdiv, Bulgaria and October 2006, Baku]
Korobov is the second and last opponent who won two wins over Usyk. He is also the only pigilist who stopped Usyk from hearing the last bell.
Unlike Hikal, Korobov lost to “GGG” before three years later he fell into Usyk. In the third round he stopped Usyk at the semi -final stage of EABA European EABA championship. Four months later, in the same tournament as Hikal, Korobov defeated Usyk at points. He beat Hikal to an opportunity before he overcome Emilio Correa in the medium weight final.
The Russians from Florida changed the professional in 2008 and enjoyed a six -year undefeated run, then lost to Andy Lee about the title of WBO Middle Wweight. Despite the mini-revision loss with Jermall Charlo, Chris Eubank Jr. And Ronald Ellis ended his career during a pandemic.
Shawn Porter – – [December 2006, Harvey, United States]
The most surprising name on the list is the former IBF and WBC Shawn Porter welterweight master. What looks like a colossal mismatch that actually took place in the Harvey Boxing Club during the USA vs. Ukraine International. Porter was then an average weight before he went downstairs, when changing the professional and enjoying the Hall of Fame career.
After four rounds from Usyk, Porter lost on two cards of the results of judges. Leonid Loivskyy Carded for Utyk 19-11, while Allan Stockdale on the Ukrainian side 38-36. Unfortunately, for Oleksandr Usyk, the American judge Zachary Teenage shot such a wide shooting for a porter at the age of 39-22 that it was enough to influence the result of America 23-20.
Battle Rommer – – [May 2007, Ahmet Comert Sport Hall, Istanbul, Turkey]
Kamara managed to see the 17-15 decision over the Utyk during the preliminary Ahmet Comert tournaments in 2007. Usyk finally realized that he had to raise weight, but he still couldn’t understand the decision.

Artur Beterbiev – – [August 2007, Kaliningrad, Russia]
Fighting with Usyk in his homeland, the future champion of massive lithe Beterbiev scored nearly 12-10 triumphs over the UTY during Amber Gloves in 2007. Russia versus Ukraine International. Usyk would have to wait five years for revenge, which appeared on the largest stage at the Olympic Games in 2012. Usyk defeated Beterbaview in the quarter -finals on his way to gold.
Beterbiev has become one of the most terrified boxers in boxing and still has a one hundred percent knockout indicator.
Viktar zueu – – [March 2008, Pescara, Italy]
On the way to qualifying for the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008, Utyk lost to ZueU in the European Olympic final in 2008. His performance in the tournament is enough to guarantee a place in the Ukrainian team. However, Usyk lost in the Olympic quarter -finals to the Italian Clemente Russo, the same man who knocked out Zueu in the first round.
Xiaoping Zhang – – [June 2008, Istanbul, Turkey]
As part of another Ahmet Comert tournament, Utyk lost 14-5 [in the final] For Zhang, the final gold medalist with water, massive in London, in a sultry -up for games in 2012.
Russian Clement – – [August 2008, Beijing, China]
Then the defeat of Russo for Usyk appeared. An experienced master defeated Usyk and Deontay Wilder when he demands gold at a workers’ gymnasium. Again, four years later, in London, Usyk avenged this loss, winning the most essential part of precious metal in amateur sport.
Osmay Acosta – – [December 2008, Moscow, Russia]
A few months after his Olympic disappointment, Usyk faced the Cuban Osmay Acosta in the World Cup final in 2008. Only a few months earlier, Usyk defeated Acosta and was a favorite to win. This time Acosta took loot and title.
Egor Mechonsev – – [September 2009, Milan, Italy]
Finally, the last man who defeated him in 2009 was Egor Mekhontsev. Usyk was on a nine -month unbeaten heart when he fell into the Russian amateur Southpaw during the World Amateur Championships semi -finals in 2009.
Mechonstev won 14-10 a turning point for his career. After this loss, Usyk was adamant that he never lost another fight.
Like Usyk, Mekhonstev became the Olympic champion at the London Games, this time at 81 kg, before he became a professional in the United States a year later. He fought with 14 professionals and never lost, but unlike the Usyk title, the title of world champion escaped.

British boxer Jerome Wilson reported a disgusting attack ten years after surviving a coma with knockout.
“Wipeout” Wilson was 29 years elderly when he faced Cameroon Serge Ambomo at Ice Sheffield Arena in a rematch of September 12, 2014. Ambomo put it down challenging in the sixth round after he touched the canvas during the second session.
He was taken to the hospital from wearing from the ring, where the doctors put a man Sheffield in a medically induced coma. At that time, there were sedate fears before Wilson’s life, because the information of his former team was confirmed after his 11th professional fight.
“Jerome Wilson, unfortunately, suffered a sedate head injury during his fight in Sheffield last night. He receives the best possible care. But during treatment Jerome family asks for privacy at this hard time”, read the statement of the former manager and promoter David Coldwell at Worldboxingnews.com.
“The next updates will be issued when Jerome’s family deems it right. Therefore, there will be no further comments until Jerome family directs.”
The later update, after the life -saving brain surgery removed a quarter of the skull, said: “He just had a word from his brother Jerome, Marvin, that he touched, jumped and breathes 90%for himself.
“He is not outside the forest, but the documents said that at this stage it is brilliant progress. Jerome is a warrior and wins.
“They will reduce his sedation, but this is such a positive news. It is a long way, but he began to move.
“He sat down, understands what he is telling him and even tries to get up from the chair.”
Another boxer and friend Ross Burkinshaw visited the affected Wilson following and came to WBN. He said: “Jerome is very grateful and satisfied with all the support he received and is so positive to the future.
“He is an inspiration for what he did. He forced me to defend my belt for him, which I would definitely do.”
Wilson survived that he would fall unconscious and bleed the brain. So it should be the last time Wilson faced the danger of this nature.
However, this was not the case, because Wilson revealed the shocking incident at the weekend, in which he showed great restraint.
“I thought the days of hitting the head were passing,” he said. “I was attacked during a 10-year-old son earlier when I took him to his bike.
“The guy was lucky that other people separated us. I wasn’t going to fight my son, which we live in.”
Sky Sports
Without fighting, Wilson once again showed an amazing figure, as he did in his eleven professional duels.
“Killing a person requires only one blow, and he shot. He is lucky, or maybe in some respects,” added Wilson, who ended his career with eight wins and three defeats [2 KOs].
I thought the days of hitting the head were over! I was attacked with my 10 -year -old son earlier when I took him to his bike. The guy was lucky that other people separated us, I was not going to fight my son, which rely on it. The crazy world in which we live …
Wilson began a civilian overalls ten years after his wonderful recovery in 2024. Action against the British control council and others caused a confidential settlement outside the court in favor of Wilson, emphasizing the dangers of boxing.
The claim of the Supreme Court would be “resulting from injuries referenced by Wilson, a professional boxer, in a boxing match organized and managed by the defendants and covers allegations regarding delays in treatment.”
Wilson, who has a titanium plate in a skull, outlined in court documents, his ongoing fights. He said he was still experiencing a “excruciating pain”, which makes the fact even more disturbing.
WiPed Out, a book about Wilson’s experience, is now available at Amazon. It is also worth listening to an intriguing podcast with a girl Michelle and Carl Frampton.
