In this episode
Big predictions. Hard rounds. Very different reactions. This episode brings together seven of Oleksandr Usyk’s opponents, comparing their words before facing him with what they said afterwards.
The sequence runs from Marco Huck through Tony Bellew, Derek Chisora, Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and Daniel Dubois to Rico Verhoeven. Interviews and fight moments carry the story; some opponents give credit, while others dispute the decision or stoppage.
