Chisora says he knew Usyk would be superstar
According to Chisora, as quoted by BoxingScene, Usyk defeats everyone thanks to his movement, Ukrinform reports.
"Movement, movement. He beats everybody by movement. Because, remember, in boxing we are trained to hit a target and not move our feet. But Oleksandr, he hits the target, moves, changes angles and moves on this side and moves on that side. So it's quite difficult. I knew he was going to be the man because everybody else was ducking him," the British boxer said.
"I boxed him [Usyk], and then his next big fight was with AJ at Tottenham. Great fight; he won it. And then the return fight, again, he won it. And then from there, I knew he was going to be a superstar," Chisora added.
Usyk and Chisora faced each other in the ring in October 2020, with the Ukrainian winning by unanimous decision.
In 2012, Chisora lost a tough bout to Vitali Klitschko.
