Boxing fans are having a great year with numerous spectacular matchups inside the ring. Ryan Garcia surprised everyone by defeating Devin Haney last month. The world also saw its first undisputed Heavyweight champion in the four-belt era when Oleksandr Usyk beat Tyson Fury.

A user on X (formerly known as Twitter) pointed out some striking similarities between the Ukrainian champion and the late legend Muhammad Ali.

#### Oleksandr Usyk: The New Muhammad Ali?

Coming from a war-torn country, it wasn’t easy for Usyk to climb the boxing world ladder. However, he became the first undisputed Heavyweight champion in the four-belt era and also holds the title in Cruiserweight. Given these achievements, comparisons to boxing greats like Muhammad Ali are inevitable.

A user on X highlighted the major similarities between Usyk and Ali:

– Both were born on January 17th.
– Both stand six feet and three inches tall, with a reach of seventy-eight inches.
– Both won gold at the Olympic Games.
– Both achieved the title of undisputed Heavyweight champion of the world.

Muhammad Ali is often considered the greatest boxer of all time, known for fighting in the ring and working to eradicate racism. Usyk, hailing from Ukraine, a country at war, has also faced immense challenges on his path to greatness.

In recent years, Usyk has defeated all his significant opponents in the boxing ring. Many are now speculating about a rematch with Tyson Fury. It will be interesting to see if Usyk can defeat the Gypsy King again and solidify his legacy.
