Oleksandr Usyk’s Quiet New York Walk and Ali Prediction Ahead of Retirement

Ukrainian heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk was filmed strolling through Manhattan with his wife in early July, attracting little public attention despite his status as a two‑time undisputed heavyweight champion. The low‑key outing came as he prepared for his final "Last Dance" bout, after announcing he will retire once the fight is completed.

In a separate interview, Usyk said that if he could face any fighter from history, he would choose Muhammad Ali and that he believes Ali would win the match, likely by a split decision. Usyk’s comments underscore his respect for boxing legends while highlighting his own achievements, which include victories over Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and Daniel Dubois.

Both pieces reflect the champion’s focus on his upcoming retirement and his perspective on boxing heritage as he closes the most successful chapter of his career.
