“Yes I’m Undisputed buuuut…just relax” The guy is pure class.

[richarduton]

I swear as boxing fans we are so lucky to have Usyk, generational personality let alone talent. ❤

[jasonlomakin]

One of the greatest sportsman of all time. Olympic Champion, Undisputed Cruiserweight and Heavyweight Champion and no ego to boot. A true great.

[edonis]

Slouches don’t reach that level. What a legend

[mtb]

What a professional. Usyk is an ambassador for boxing. Humble, family man with respect for his opponents.

[adam_p]

I’ve never wanted a foreigner to win against the Brit before this guy came along. But for this man, I couldn’t help but support him.

[SpinTheFlo]

Usyk is a noble human being. What an absolute gem for boxing!

[tomzablee]

Usyk is a legend and the interviewer did a great job also

[jrss]

This guy is such an ispiration. Sounds silly but even when taking a jog and I feel tired i think of Usyk and of what he has achieved and it keeps me going. Love you Usyk, favorite sportsman of all time

[Guitar]

Where does he get his class from this guy is pure class.

[thegoat]

This man makes me question myself everytime I watch a usyk interview... great guy brilliant champion... imagine if we all had the humble attitude this man has

[howardsend]

Usyk is sheer class. As a boxer and a man. ❤

[oldfox]

Usyk is a real champion. This is how champions should talk and behave. Respect the sport and opponents, no need to talk bad about opponent or anybody. Usyk is a role model for all champions or title holders. Very happy to see such person holding all titles of heavy weight boxing. It was too long time that there was title holders who were not at the level of Usyk. High respect! Slava Ukraine.

[cantilever]

Usyk is not only a great man in terms of his athletic achievements, but he's a good man, in terms of his friendly personality, his down-to-Earthness, his love for his family, his overall class behavior. He's one in a billion. I am very happy to see the respect which British boxing fans/media extend to him, despite the fact that he has defeated so many top British boxers...

[tonykent]

The most charismatic, honorable, likeable, and inspiring figure in sports today. Hands down.

[kingRagnar]

Olympic champ 🏆
Cruiserweight undisputed champ 🏆
Heavyweight undisputed champ 🏆

[jamesburrell]

He is such a historical fighter. Never before has there been a career such as his. He always trains and fights and travels as if he is the underdog and he always wins.

[dannyjolly]

How can you not like this guy. Charlotte is brilliant!!!

[iancognito]

he has such beautiful soul and great demeanor

[cusssystem]

Wow what a fantastic interview Charlotte well done. He was very engaging with you. You asked OPEN questions throughout and at the same time Uysk answered with warmth and was always smiling yet serious with his answers at the same time .
