Undefeated unified heavyweight champion, Oleksandr Usyk is an absolute entertainer. Be it his flawless performance or charismatic personality off-ring, Usyk appears to be a fan-favorite character all the time. That said, he shook the combat world by snatching the WBA, WBO, and IBF heavyweight belts from Anthony Joshua in September 2021.

He is now in talks to re-match Joshua before aiming towards a potential undisputed title fight. However, Usyk continues to grab attention, as he is seemingly prepared to return shortly. Oleksandr Usyk was spotted in the gym with the former UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw, where the heavyweight champ flexed his juggling skills.

Surprisingly, Usyk took a dumbbell, a tennis ball, and another object to juggle all three at a time. He looked synced in action and didn’t fail to deliver what he had promised. The sight caught sheer attention as everyone applauded Usyk for his skills. The clip verified Usyk to have a commendable reflex which also benefits him in his in-ring performances.

After conquering the entire cruiserweight division, Usyk moved towards the heavyweight unit, where he lacked sufficient support from the boxing fans. Not everyone had envisioned him beating Anthony Joshua for the heavyweight titles in London. However, Usyk shook the world in style and offered a boxing clinic, battering his champion rival for all 12-rounds.

Oleksandr Usyk came close to bagging an undisputed title fight against WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury. However, WBC Interim champion Dillian Whyte has bagged his shot at ‘The Gypsy King’. Thus, Usyk will have to establish his dominance more in the division to bag bigger matchups.

Besides, Usyk had also agreed to match up against Canelo Alvarez at the cruiserweight division. Thus, he can return down to 200 lbs at any given point. And that clearly expands his combat radar, further intensifying the whole scenario.
