What a humble Champ Usyk is!
The Joker suit
He always looks like he knows something you don’t .
😂😂😂😂😂
He does normally, how to beat you lol
FFS that's so true 😂
Haha good accurate comment, he dose always seem to have that expression on his face. He comes across as a guy who's always happy & upbeat/positive which is a good thing as they say ' a happy fighter is a dangerous fighter' he looks mentally in an incredibly relaxed place like he hasn't a single care in the world, which is the right thing! no point being tense & using up mental energy before the fight.
The result of the fight on Saturday no doubt.
There is something uncanny about this man. He’s also respectful and carries himself well. All the best to both decent men.
I see it to, I believe he is gonna beat Joshua, we will see
I fully agree….. he’s an enigma this kid.
Yes unlike a few other heavyweights I can think off who are a disgrace to their sport inside and outside of the ring. Oh and pathological liers.
Seems a nice guy. Not egotistical, and not bad mouthing his opponent.
😆😆 👍
When Usyk learns full English (like he said he will) he’s got the ultimate Bond villain gig in the bag
Noooo, aim high man. He's the next bond. Look at his interviews he's already doing it.
The names Bond, James Bond
Or
How do you feel?
I Feel, I Very Feel
Whose bond? That imaginary silly relic of a bygone era ? Lol 😂
@@sultanniazi2394 you talking about bond or religion?
He can't act, so....
@@holliswilliams8426 how do you know!? What you seen him in?
The thing is every AJ's fan is actually Usyk's fan aswell...
Verry feel..
Same cloth
Well said
Very very feel
Against Bellew he had the majority of the country behind him.
@@spannerintheworks1190 not really just the media front
Aj fan here, I have to say this was deep "power comes from spirit". Uzyk is a humble and spiritual man and very respectful, may the best one wins! It will be a great fight!
Sounds profound but it's not realistic. A trained muscular fist will scramble your brain more than a spirited one with less muscle and practice. It's all relative.
@@revival45 it’s also about timing and rhythm and Uzyk is a master of his craft also an AJ fan so will be an amazing fight can’t wait
@@revival45 Everyone's brain can be scrambled if hit in the right pace at the right time, regardlss of how big you are. Though some people are simple tougher, regardless of size.
@Marvin Hagler... have you heard of PBC?
@@revival45 I got one name for you that exemplifies what Uzyk said, Bruce Lee!
Big AJ fan but could not be happier for Usyk getting his shot. Humble, talented man. All the best to both fighters.
As a Brit, it’s hard to support AJ since he went all Joseph goebbels and told ‘his people’ to boycott ‘their’ stores
@@radekashah2099 exactly
Can you elaborate on this please ?
Usyk showed me the most beautiful boxing i have seen in a while. Unfortunately AJ had no answer or gameplan
Humble so over used
Usyk looks like a pirate coming to loot AJ's belt, lol.
He said elsewhere he is going for the 17th century Cossack look, and, more importantly, Spirit.
@@jamesart9 - I don't think you realise that he was trolling...
@@WardenOfTerra Probably not. Usyk say stuff with such a straight face it is hard to tell, but I sure wouldn't put it past him.
He's such a funny, cool guy.
Nah he looks like joker without the paint
@@WardenOfTerra I dont think you realise that he wasnt.
Usyk can actually speak pretty decent English, I met him in Berlin in March & he managed to hold a conversation with me & a few others that were there. Really nice bloke, hope he wins Saturday
And he won! Absolute legend!!
Done 😂
Usyk came and asked me how to wear his gloves properly before the AJ fight
The dude probably speaks better English than most of us English lol I wouldn't know how to say hello in Ukrainian
@@mdavis1992 This is the first time I get thrilled about someone becoming a world champion. I have major respect for this man both as an athlete and as a person. Congrats Usyk, hope you become the next undisputed champion soon.
He looks like a lovable psychopath
Thats bang on 😂
EXACTLY! EXACTLY!! This is the exact words I have been looking for....God bless you! 😃😃😃😃
he's just extremely confident, that's all... quite religious man
@@valeriiaf8962 Brought up David and Goliath and only God knows the outcome, so yeah he has my full respect. Love this guy.
Ha ha ha! To the point! :)
I love this guy, he's a showman without even trying
He brought up David and Goliath.... This man has my full respect.
Sure it wasnt David and valuev
@@stat1865 Oh haha maybe, but that fight gets related to David and Goliath so, the we're back to my respect for him LOL
@@stat1865 no its david and goliath i speak Ukrainian thats definitely what he said
@@danand6907
The translater must be wrong then
He has my respect to, that’s one of my favorite stories to illustrate the point that size doesn’t always matter.
In my humble opinion, Usyk would be a worthy Champion in any era and is a credit to the sport..
Couldn't agree more.
100% the fact hes gone up to heavyweight and took AJ as his third fight speaks volumes
This aged perfectly
@@3BGamersHD I had a feeling that Usyk would win tonight.
@@Hugh_Jurrection I was there and wanted AJ to win being British but feel blessed to have witnessed that performance. He is my p4p 1 now what a fighter
Who's here after he hammered Joshua 😂. He was 100% right.
3-9 Usyk. Dominated whole fight
@@IRTEHLEETOKNPBB most of*
@@Kettle-ib8fw ALL OF
@@nackjicholson1940 clearly not, he lost 3, maybe even 4 rounds
@@Kettle-ib8fw Get in the bin 😂
What a great man Usyk is!! Humble and very respectful ... i've turned a fan today
"Power is in your spirit" - cool and deep reply... so interesting
The man is a Christian. He'll maybe think on a deeper level to AJ in his approach to this fight and be able to draw deeper than AJ when it's needed.
I definitely don't think he'll get disheartened at all if at anytime the fight is going AJ's way.
I'll take Oleksandr Usyk for the win.
I want AJ to win but I have fallen inlove with Usyk. Usyk is the true definition of a gentleman
Shame he doesnt know English
@@gypsykking1970 Shame we don't speak Ukranian
Baba the guy don win oh lool
I think Andy Ruiz is proof enough that size doesn't mean much in the face SKILL courage and belief.
He’s 270 pounds?
Ruiz is the heaviest heavyweight champion ever after Nicolai Valuev who is literally a giant.
Lol ruiz doesn't have size?
That Ruiz fought a concussed Aj,how u people still bring up that fight is beyond me
When you think size is measured by height 👀🤣
How can u not like usyk he’s entertaining what a fighter great fighter
Usyk's boxing IQ is far above Joshua's. AJ is in for a real treat when Usyk starts to out-box him.
king
So in the end it happened)
Geez you nailed it
This aged well.
I don't know what's more frightening.... that smile, or that suit.
But he's a freaindly serial killer though.
A true man of christ all glory to his King
as he said, 'Power comes from spirit not size!
0:30 his reaction to the suit compliment is the most wholesome thing I've watched this year.
Oleksandr Usyk dressing like the Joaquin Phoenix from the Joker.
Just to tell people that this press conference is a joke
I knew I wasn’t the only one that saw that
3:25 that smile lol he knew what she said before it was translated. He didn't bulk for no reason he knows he needs a KO in England.
How many knockouts does he have on his record? This will be a bloooody fight!!!!!
He knows English. Most of his interviews are in English.
Usyk in 8th 9th ko/tko
Delusional??😀😀stop boy will ya USYK will school him a master tactician.
Stop it, heavyweight power will decide
The modern embodiment of the true Cossack spirit. He even looks like a Cossack!
May i ask what is a cossack?
@@chesterthesniper eastern European Slavic warrior
@@thomascambrion4408 not only Slavic, they were multinational.
@@Levuppercut nonsense. Slavs were Cossacks.
Cossacks were mainly East Slavs, especially Russian and Ukrainian people.
@@IRTEHLEETOKNPBB Nonsense?!! The word cossac derives from turckic word "kazaq"- free man. of course ukrainian were majority, but other then Ukrainians there were plenty of tatars, polish, romanians, lithuanians, armenians jews and other etnicitys. you not familiar with the topic, I am actually ukrainian.
Everything this man has set out to accomplish, he has. He's very strong minded, has exceptional skills, speed, crafty and high ring I.q. After Saturday, a new champion.
What are you smoking
As a Brit I am supporting Usyk.
I will be indentifying as Ukranian this Saturday 🇺🇦🇬🇧
Why?
Why not support AJ
@@GoneFishin247 Don't worry about Usyk he's got a very underrated chin & knows how to protect it. He was just having a look in the first 2 rounds vs Chisora, he made no attempt to win those rounds. Rounds 4 & 9 were swing rounds & Usyk won the other 8 comfortably.
@@GoneFishin247 Yeah, AJ will definitely be 2 or 3 rounds up already. 2/3 judges found an extra round for Chisora (2x 7-5 but he won a maximum of 4 rounds) & he's way more expendable than AJ. I expect Usyk knows this & will be gunning for a late stoppage himself. He may not be able to KO AJ but he can certainly win by late TKO. Usyk has as much of a stamina advantage as AJ does power. 🥊
I hope Joshua doesn't actually believe that. Usyk is dangerous, it's the shots you don't see coming what hurt the most and Usyk is a master at setting you up for those shots you don't see coming... Ask Bellew.
Ask Ruiz too when he clattered Bae J
Or ask Chisora who was robbed perhaps
Bellow was poor. Fought with his hands down, no protection. A power puncher would have flattened him sooner.
@@jctoyou Stop it 😂
Joshua and Bellew are a totally different kettle of fish dude.
how can you not like this guy ?? i love him "no homo" he is calm,humble, sometimes make some joke, he is warrior in the ring like a realy man should be ! im with Usyk all the way but its going to be soooo hard for him Aj is typical heavyweight.
Never measure the size of a dog in a fight. Measure the size of the fight in the dog.
True, think Staffie.
@yozzer123 idk about that one Mike Tyson and recently Canelo have being making that into a joke
¿???????
@yozzer123 Usyk is 6foot 3 lol hardly small, Mike Tyson was 5 foot 10
The man answered all questions and won.🙏
Power comes from the spirit not size, Remain blessed brother USYK.
He’s just so positively likeable.
What a humble guy with a great spirit I hope he gives AJ the good news!!
What a class answer about being smaller than Joshua wen usyk says the power is in the person's spirit a bit like it ain't the size of the dog in the fight its the size of the fight in the dog, usyks self confidence is brilliant.
You just got to love this guy, good luck Oleksandr!
Such a special man , this Usyk ! His smiles speak a lot !
This guy genuinely, naturally and easily passes for a professional psycho. I love his attitude. He's always in good spirits. Good luck to both men. Boxing wins this one whichever way it goes.
Suit makes him look even more mental. If that's possible 😂
Kinda looks like Tom Hardy in Bronson
No. Not possible. The cherry on the cake is the nervous breakdown he will have before the fight to give him the mental edge over AJ.
The clown suit is disarming. Similar to Ruiz’ friendly behaviour prior to his first fight with AJ. I hope AJ doesn’t fall for the suit and see’s him for what he is in the ring. This ain’t no clown
It ain't a clown suit, he's the ring leader
I was actually thinking AJ has that same confidence and vibe as he did with Ruiz. Food for thought anyway. But he should win tbh
You only have to look at usyks eyes to see his.. hungry and a dangerous killer.
You only have to look at his career record to see his an accomplished fighter who’s achieved at all levels throughout his career.
His dedicated, his relentless and fearless in the ring.. when you watch him at work you can see his skills, his movement & speed and his a dangerous fighter to face..
You think his suit could undermine all that and make Ajay think I’ll take this easy because he wore a red “clown” suit lol okay bud
This is classic usyk his a confident and care free and fun guy, and this is just an expression of that character nothing more.
It clearly brings attention to him which is also a benefit to him, not everyone will have come across him before but you won’t miss him wearing that haha
It was for some kind of tradition in his hime town not a clown suit 💀💀
The red suit is a psychological mind game on AJ for sure. But AJ’s experience will definitely make a difference. Am expecting a very good fight from Usyk no doubt
Wow Usyk in all previous interviews spoke Russian. In this one he spoke native Ukrainian. I am so hyped for this fight. Cant wait. Hope it goes the distance
Is there much of a difference?
YEP,. IT FEELS WHEN YOU SPEAK!
@@dosomethingaboutit3218 A lot of difference, most of the Russians barely can understand us, Ukrainians
I think since he had Ukrainian translator
@@RealDonaldTrump123 what you talking about...😀😀 im georgian never lived in russia but i speak russian very good and even i understand ukranian no less then 90 %. How about russians))))
He is a very humble intelligent man,lovely and well mannered,no airs and graces,polite and softly spoken
As Usyk points out it will be a chess match of Cerebral fitness where there will be only one winner
I will be devastated if he does not achieve a comfortable win on points over Joshua as Usyk can usher in a new creditable era in the heavyweight division which has been notable by its abscense in recent years,Fury being the only other sole character that has injected any real interest
Hahahaha ok
Everything was understandable until you brought up Fury. Someone who flip flops more than a fish out of water and constantly contradicts himself. He hasn't even had any defenses but I guess if you like his antics then he has made it about himself as opposed to the division
'If you're good at something, never do it for free!' - The Joker.
I think it will be a very very good fight that will go the distance, I'm going for a draw on the scorecards
Wasn't even close to a draw, Joshua was totally outboxed. Actually, he was getting outboxed by Povetkin until Povetkin got tired.
@@holliswilliams8426 I expected Joshua to win the earlier rounds and Usyk to win from round 7 onwards. Usyk dominated the whole fight and has some engine on him as he didn't tire! Joshua was gassing out from round 10 even with the weight he lost and that last 30 seconds in the final round I honestly think Usyk could have knocked Joshua out whenever he wanted, if a rematch goes ahead I'll go for a Usyk knockout in round 10
Congratulation to the new world champion boxer Usyk. What a boxer, what a very fine respectful man, a hard-fighting man, a smart man, this man is no blow bag, I like his earring, I think he got that idea for the greatest rocker of all time Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy fame. Also full respect to my next-door neighbor Antoney Joshua also a great and good kind man he is, yes he will be back, I will bet my old socks on that
This guy is a master mind in his own field you don’t become an undisputed for no reason now he’s stepping up to the big boys league. style makes fights let do it baby
Here after he hammered AJ 🔨
Usyk is the coolest cat ever love this guy's energy absolutely brilliant
It’s a 50/50 fight , you can see paths to victory for both fighters should make it a good watch
I like the way you've phrased that.
Usyk vs AJ was a perfect example of a good old boxing match between two gentlemen. Kind of like it was a hundred years ago. No idiotic stunts, no showing off and all that kind of tasteless crap.
Two gentleman. Love it. Respect, humility and skills.
Very intelligent fighter… I think he will analyse and adapt very well… may even throw an upset 😉
this guy exhibits maximum confidence without an ounce of egotism. from his interviews he appears as a person who never lost touch with the simple pleasures adults tend to relegate to childhood, or deem childish after a certain point. He's not kidding wearing that suit. the man loves to dance in every sense, and he came for it. Beautiful energy from a clever, funloving, and authentic person
He didn't need the translator for the power remark, he's used to hearing it. This as an AJ fan sorta scares me surely if you knew your disadvantage you would spend years trying to iron it out...
Everyone spends years trying to iron out their weaknesses/disadvantages, it doesn't mean you can get rid of them. Usyk is inherently smaller and less powerful than Joshua and typical modern day heavyweights, no amount of training can change that really.
@@thebiglebrowski3695 I understand that, either you would iron it out or adapt in some way to almost deem AJS power useless, I really reckon Usyk has a massive chance here, if AJ relies on power alone (imo) he has already lost the fight.
@@eragon1378 I disagree, we both saw the problems chisora gave Usyk early on with him power and size, and with all due respect to chisora he’s the gatekeeper for upcoming heavyweights these days, so I can’t see Usyk winning. If he does it though he’d be only of the best P4P boxers of the last 20 years and a superstar
He might not get a knockout against AJ, but can he outbox him,make him tired, win rounds against AJ and sweep a decision? That is what makes it more interesting. I can see that happening.
Usyk knows he's the smaller man I just think he will get AJ throwing wind mills tire him out then break him down
This man impresses me..he definitely has high connections...how wonderful..God bless him
Usyk is a cool calm and collected character, but he is also a great boxer with fantastic skills I'm no hater but his team and him look very confident, usyk points, and Eddie why a rematch clause, he's another mandatory challenger. The main thing I think this is going to be a great fight and both fighters come out safe and healthy to there families God 🙏
The way we're talking its like hes 5"4!ha honestly though I really like Usyk hope he gets the win.
I know he's 6"3 a couple of inches shorter than Joshua
What a humble, polite and just overall nice man. I wish both guys a good fight, couldn't say I'd be for one or the other. They're both decent athletes and humans.
Usyk reminds me a lot of Khabib Nurmagomedov in UFC. Both super talented, but very humble and respectful, as well as being men of faith. I actually believe Usyk can spring a surprise and beat AJ, as long as he doesn't walk onto a big punch.
Respect to both Aj nd Usyk for being such gentlemen, for being so inspirational, I have always loved the calm energy of this man Usyk, should be an amazing fight 👍Respect✊
Usyk is a dangerous opponent for AJ. He’s got the footwork, speed, and angles over him. However, AJ has some things over Usyk as well. Strength, Power, and height. I want AJ to win, but this will be a 50/50 in my eyes. May the best man win.
He's also got the Kante lungs
I think it's definitely AJ's toughest fight of his career!
AJs got a glass jaw !
AJ too big
I think Usyk wins this, would loved to be proved wrong, but I think he’ll be perfectly comfortable in his heavyweight body now, he has the speed, footwork, head movement and angles over AJ, there isn’t even as a big a size difference as I initially thought, IMO unless you’re fury the way to beat Usyk is to apply pressure and make it an inside fight which I can’t see AJ doing
I was won over after he annihilated Tony Bellew, another great champ. He is just a top bloke!
Bellew is not good,and he struggled against del boy
@@andytap560 Who struggled against del boy?
Let's go Oleksander.... Cheers from Philippines
Wish this guy the best, great humble man with nothing butbrespect!!!
Anyone else notice that his suit looks like Joaquin Phoenix's Joker suit?! He should have grown his hair out and dyed it green LOL
The advert at the start don't lie 🤣 🤣
Usyk reminds me of Khabib. He's gonna slowly but surely prove to everyone he's the best.
What a man 💯
I am feel, i am very feel.
Love this guy
This aged well..
Class.
It's his spirit that's very refreshing.
Cognitively and emotionally steps ahead.
Great to have him in this sport. He could be in any sport to be honest, but boxing it is :-)
That fist-bump at the end looked and sounded like you would expect from a heavy weight boxing world champion
It's the size of the fight in the lion
Not the size of the lion in the fight!
The translator didn't know what 'go the distance' meant, Krasyuk had to intervene 😄
She also didn’t know how to say checkmate. I understood what he said but don’t know how to spell it in Ukrainian lol
Шах-мат
What a humble stance how he is standing, wow, what a humble man, but a crazy beast inside.
Seems like a great guy. He won with class and totally deserved his win. AJ got a boxing lesson last night..'No Excuses!!
Usyk is a Christian :)
Imagine calling a 6'3 beast too small, just AJ things I guess lmao
It shows you AJ's character and how ignorant he still is even after getting his arse handed to him by Ruiz. There have been multiple fights where Joshua has nearly been knocked out, Usyk hasn't had that issue at all.
Off course he's to small ,u blind? He's going to feel real heavyweight power
@@delroygardner8325 by that logic Mike Tyson was too small because he wasn’t as big as other heavyweights
Words backed up by a good performance and subsequently a win against AJ. Congrats, Usyk!
Usyk is so likeable lol. He's the friend that won't look down on you for your physical attributes but only judge you based on your actual character - and whip any bullies ass for you 💯
Quietly confident, im really intrigued about this fight, some are writing usyk off and predicting a joshua, and could be correct. Usyk just seems to have a suprise or two up his sleeve. What a guy and top, top fighter.
The Joker - Chaotic Evil
Usyk - Chaotic Good
Both - Pull off mad suits
If it's one thing in this crazy life that I have learned, is never to underestimate anyone by any means necessary.
This clip aged very well...
Usyk will be joker and Joshua will be Murray, Usyk is being brought to the UK which is Joshua’s home just like joker was brought to Murray’s home.
Usyk will out box him just you watch,English media haven’t a clue 🤣🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️
Take a look at his opponents and where the fights took place.
Usyk likes to come to fighters backyards and take what they have.
Won't mean a thing when the bell rings , never in his life has he felt heavyweight power
@@delroygardner8325 power this power that,everyone has power,we will see
@@delroygardner8325 he's trained with lots of heavyweights for years actually. He's even sparred with wladimir. I can't imagine that his sparring partners for the last 3 heavyweight fights were cruiserweights. This guy is 100% prepared and at his level has felt enough heavyweight power. Im certain of that
I love this man, he's an inspiration, from an Aj fan
Thats why i like him.see usik vs huck prefight at wbss you will understand why he is like that
❤️❤️ this man...Even I'm a fan of AJ ..but he won my heart.. ❤️❤️
Usyk is so confident, this guy is truly dangerous. Can’t wait for this fight 👍👍👍
This has aged well 👌🏽💯
Usyk is the man
I tell you, this guy really needs to play a villain on a James Bond movie, it’s those crazy eyes… love this guy. 😆
He is very likable and no doubting his achievements at Cruiserweight. Hope it's a good fight on Saturday!
Obviously want Joshua to win, but if there was ever a person it replace him as champion it would be Usyk. What a character 😀
Usyk has 10 million times the amount of character and personality in just his facial expressions as AJ does full stop
aj has the character and charisma of a wooden bat tries to be all philosophical like ali all the while making no sense whatsoever
@@qasimdin7438 Bang on🤣
Being heavyweight champion of the world comes with responsibility , children and younger boxer's look up to you , so you have to be respectful and a role model , Now if you see him in Finchley boxing club it's the real Josh
@@delroygardner8325 like you know the real josh just be yourself man like a boxing champ is someone you look to learn mannerism and respect the world is lost
This guys golden man, what great champion
I am glad, Charles Bronson is back in the boxing game!
My favorite boxer! Great fighter but as an englishman I'm still rooting for Joshua
Hasn't every short fighter in terms of short for a heavyweight given AJ problems? Takam, Ruiz etc? He seems to do better against opponents around his own height
They have and imo hes a better boxer than all of those listed. He hopefully will do well.
What do Takam and Ruiz have in common?
Yep and add Povetkin to that too...
USYK has this calm.. Yet also insane look all at once.. it’s all very unique.
It's the look of an APEX predator.
I like how he says "thank you"
