The Ukrainian fighter could accomplish something on Saturday that only two other fighters in this era have
The debate over who is the greatest cruiserweight in boxing history comes down to two names: Evander Holyfield and Oleksandr Usyk. Both men were undefeated in their time at cruiserweight and both went undisputed before the decision to move to the more glamourous heavyweight division. On Saturday in Saudi Arabia, Usyk looks to follow in Holyfield's footsteps by also becoming undisputed champion at heavyweight when he puts his WBA, WBO and IBF titles on the line against WBC champion Tyson Fury.
Usyk currently sits at No. 4 in the CBS Sports' pound-for-pound rankings and the fight with Fury gives him an opportunity to move higher up the ladder. A win would place Usyk alongside Naoya Inoue and Terence Crawford as the only men to be undisputed champion across multiple weight classes.
