Oleksandr Usyk

The World Boxing Council (WBC) has officially recognized Oleksandr Usyk as the Best Boxer of 2024, celebrating his remarkable achievements in the heavyweight division. The Ukrainian star stunned the boxing world by handing previously undefeated Tyson Fury two consecutive defeats, solidifying his status among the all-time greats.

On May 18, 2024, Usyk etched his name in history by becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion after an epic showdown against Fury. Just a few months later, he defended his WBC title successfully, showcasing his dominance and global influence in the sport. According to the organization’s official statement, these accomplishments further cement the 30-year-old’s legacy as one of the finest boxers of his generation.

Despite his historic triumphs, Usyk is no longer the absolute champion. He relinquished the IBF belt due to timing constraints on a mandated defense, prioritizing full recovery after his first grueling bout with Fury. As a result, Daniel Dubois currently holds the IBF heavyweight title.
