Meanwhile, Usyk came under the control of the WBA, WBO, and IBF belts. This Ukrainian fighter cannot be underestimated by Fury, who was briefly bothered by former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, in October 2023.
Lewis held the title last time, starting 1999 and ending a year later. Since then, the achievements made by him have never been repeated until a duel that will bring together Fury and Usyk.
A total of 22 names have been on the list of undisputed world champions since Jack Dempsey in 1922. In that list, only Ali and Sonny Liston won this title more than once.
Dempsey controlled all of those belts for four years before Gene Tunney took the title and changed hands many times over the next two decades.
Joe Louis is the longest boxer to become the undisputed heavyweight champion. He has been at the top of boxing for 12 years.
