Alright, let’s take it all the way back. Born on January 17, 1987, in Simferopol, Crimea, Usyk was always destined to make waves. Kid had talent, no doubt. He started early, hitting up local boxing gyms and schooling everyone in regional tournaments. It wasn’t long before people took notice—Usyk was a star in the making.
By the time 2011 rolled around, Usyk was that guy. He snagged gold at the World Amateur Boxing Championships, cementing his place on the global stage. But the real magic? The 2012 London Olympics. Usyk didn’t just win a gold medal in the heavyweight division—he made it iconic. After securing the W, he celebrated with his legendary hopak dance, throwing down some serious Ukrainian vibes. A moment of pure greatness.
So, in 2013, Usyk turned pro, and yeah, he didn’t waste time. He started climbing the ranks, going through opponents like a hot knife through butter. By 2018, Usyk faced off against Murat Gassiev in the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) final. This was the big one—he walked out with WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO cruiserweight belts. That’s right, Usyk became the undisputed cruiserweight champ. Boom.
Check out Usyk’s cruiserweight domination:

But let’s be real—Usyk wasn’t gonna stop at cruiserweight. He had his eyes on heavyweight glory. So, he stepped it up, took on some tough dudes like Derek Chisora and Tony Bellew, proving that his skills transcended weight classes. But the real flex? His 2021 showdown with Anthony Joshua. Usyk gave him a boxing masterclass and walked away with the WBA, WBO, and IBF heavyweight titles. That was straight-up beast mode.
