Thirty-six-year-old Oleksandr Usyk returns to the ring after a gap of one year. The unified heavyweight champion might have fought Tyson Fury early this year but for the unfortunate failure of the negotiations. On Saturday, he will defend his titles against the young Daniel Dubois at the Tarczynski Arena in Wroclaw, Poland. The hype around the fight seems to be gaining ground. At the same time, many fans are increasingly seeing Usyk follow his training regimen. So it must have astonished quite a few when they came across a short clip of the Ukrainian champion swaying to an EDM number.
Followers know Oleksandr Usyk for following some unique and unusual training methods. So, in the clip shared yesterday, as soon as he throws away the juggling balls, Usyk, along with a partner, breaks into an impromptu dance. The crowd could be heard hooting at his lithe movements. The iFL TV‘s message read, “Just a completely ordinary Oleksandr Usyk public workout.”

Taking a technical route, the following fan disagreed with any notion of Usyk’s foot movement as a stroke of good fortune. It displayed expertise.
This is not random… its actually very good footwork.

Continuing with the subject, the following user wondered who could ever dislike a person like Oleksandr Usyk. The champion’s foot movement allowed him to constantly move through the twelve rounds of the match.
This is how he is able to move every minute of 12 rds. How can anyone hate this guy @antec508

This fan firmly believes that Usyk remains one of the best boxers ever and arguably the best of his era. In the forthcoming match, Dubois might stand a chance if he manages to make a connection with a blow. However, the fan seems quite apprehensive about such an instance taking place.
One of the most skilled boxers of not only his generation but to have boxed period. Dubois has a punchers chance at best but even that will be almost impossible.

According to the following user, Usyk is so formidable that many of his opponents, despite several attempts, can’t even win against him without declaring that they are ‘carrying the division.’
A fighter so good that people lose to him back to back and claim to be “carrying the division.” Heavy praise.

Twenty-five-year-old Daniel Dubois defended his WBA (Regular) Heavyweight title with an emphatic win over Kevin Lerena last December. The Londoner, otherwise, retains an impressive record of nineteen wins with a single loss to Joe Joyce back in 2020. Oleksandr Usyk, on the other hand, remains unbeaten and, with back-to-back victories over Anthony Joshua, proved that his stay at the helm was anything but a stroke of luck. Fans from both ends are looking forward to a volatile exchange on August 26.
