Commentator Tim Bradley lectures fans from his podium on unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 12 KOs) The win over Tyson Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) was the “big moment” last Saturday night.

Usyk's wins over Fury, Joshua and Dubois mean he has swept the heavyweight division. This, combined with his accomplishments as a lightweight, makes him an all-time great, maybe even the best in history.
