Summary
In his amateur career, he was Olympic, world and European champion. Usyk's announcement came just a month after he came close to a shock upset defeat to Kick-boxer Rico Verhoeven. Usyk needed a highly-controversial 11th-round stoppage to turn the tables on the Dutchman, who had been leading on the scorecards up to that point despite taking part in only his second boxing bout.
Furthermore, Heavyweight champion Usyk says vacating heavyweight world title belts. The 39-year-old Ukrainian, who is unbeaten in his professional career, said that he wanted "to make them free so that the guys who are in line for them can box". His most iconic victories have been against British heavyweights Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois — whom he beat twice each.
In addition, Today is Friday, the weather is good, and it’s a good day to say that I want to vacate all the belts that I currently hold – to make them free so that the guys who are in line for them can box,” said Usyk in a social media post. “My friends, I’m giving up the belts, but I’m not leaving the sport, because I still have my last dance. “I want to thank everyone; I respect all organisations. After rising to his feat, Usyk swarmed him with a barrage of blows, but Verhoeven seemed to be riding out the storm before the referee jumped in to end the fight.
