Oleksandr Usyk, who holds the WBA, WBO, WBC, IBO championship titles in the heavyweight division, stated that the most dangerous opponent in his career was Derek Chisora. He expressed his respect for Fury but noted that Chisora was extremely strong and instilled fear in him.
'Listen, I respect Fury. He is a great man, and I believe that this was my toughest fight. But the most dangerous was Chisora. A very tough guy. Derek works both as a right and left hand, and when I tried to block him, I thought: 'Oh God, get away, this is dangerous,'' Usyk stated.
