Oleksandr Usyk cemented his place in the heavyweight boxing pantheon as he became undisputed champion of the world on Saturday night.
Oleksandr Usyk is better at this game than you, and you, and you and you. Oleksandr Usyk is better than everybody. Heavyweight boxing has a new king, a new all-time great. He calls himself 'The Cat' and he racks up quite the luggage bill. For nine months, all he thought about was Tyson Fury. For nine months, all he did was plan for the shifty 6ft 9in, 19-stone behemoth standing between him and undisputed heavyweight glory.
A sleight of hand wizard with frightening footwork, elite ring IQ and the perfect balance of attack and defence, hurtling towards heavyweight title contention with dreams of disruption and ambitions of nestling among history's icons.
