Fabio Wardley has been crowned WBO heavyweight champion of the world after Oleksandr Usyk gave up his belt, which he had been ordered to defend against Joseph Parker

Oleksandr Usyk is one of the greatest boxers of his generation and now Mike Tyson has been speaking about how he might have got on back in the 90s.

Oleksandr Usyk has relinquished the WBO heavyweight title after being ordered to face Fabio Wardley; Usyk was told by the WBO that he must face the Parker vs Wardley winner in September

Former undisputed world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis has weighed in on whether or not Oleksandr Usyk would have kept his undefeated record back in his day.

Many people had hoped that after the Usyk loss, Fury would finally sign a contract to fight long-time British rival Anthony Joshua, who also suffered defeat last time out when he was knocked out by Daniel Dubois last September and has not yet returned to action.

Usyk had been expected to fight Fabio Wardley, after the British fighter stopped Joseph Parker in October to become the number one contender.
