Oleksandr Usyk identifies Shakur Stevenson as top boxing technician

Undefeated heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has named American boxer Shakur Stevenson as having the most refined technique of any active fighter. Speaking to DAZN, the Ukrainian veteran highlighted Stevenson, a four-division world champion, for his technical brilliance.

In a separate development, UK fighter Viddal Riley expressed interest in facing Usyk should the champion return to the cruiserweight division. Riley commented on the potential challenge following reports that Usyk may target unified cruiserweight champion David Benavidez. Riley noted that while the prospect is exciting, the physical toll of Usyk's heavyweight career, including victories over Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, remains a significant factor in such a matchup.
