Has Oleksandr Usyk ever lost a fight? Anthony Joshua opponent's boxing record in full
Oleksandr Usyk will be hoping to maintain his unbeaten career record to date as he prepares to take on Anthony Joshua in a rematch this Saturday in Saudi Arabia.
The former Olympic champion from London 2012 in the heavyweight division beat the 2012 super-heavyweight champion back in September 2021 to extend his record to 19-0, with an impressive 13 knockouts. The win also cemented his status as a two-weight World Champion, having previously held titles in the cruiserweight division.
He turned professional in 2013, winning his first fight against Felipe Romero by TKO before Krzysztof Głowacki was his first world championship opponent. He beat the Pole in 2016 to win the WBO cruiserweight title which he retained until he faced Chazz Witherspoon in his first heavyweight contest back in 2019.
