Oleksandr Usyk made his intentions crystal clear (Image: YouTube/Sky Sports News) Oleksandr Usyk summed up his approach to boxing when expressing his desire to fight Anthony Joshua over Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019. The new undisputed heavyweight champion had just vacated his cruiserweight titles to move up a division. He was laser-focused on his long-term goal in the sport, as evidence by his mindset of "to be the best, one must beat the best".

At that time, Usyk was the mandatory challenger to either Joshua or Ruiz, who were set to fight for the unified heavyweight championship in a rematch in Saudi Arabia. In a surprising turn of events, Joshua, considered one of the most formidable heavyweights, was defeated by the underdog Ruiz in a unfortgetable bout at Madison Square Garden in the summer of 2019. However, Joshua avenged his loss by defeating Ruiz via a unanimous decision in their rematch in Saudi Arabia.
