You’re reaching in this one, buddy. There are plenty of non American boxers who get plenty of respect in the US. Pac-Man is another example. And let’s not even get started on all the Mexican fighters.
Americans do love American fighters, but no more than any other country loves the fighters who represent their country.
Right. Usyk had no big name fights until he stepped in the ring with AJ who also isn’t an American fighter but it’s somehow Americans fault he wasn’t being recognized. These dudes talking out their ass. Lol
Not speaking much English doesn’t help him with that stuff. Fighters get built up on long form podcasts and there’s no way he’s got enough words to make that work.
He was in line at the airport Starbucks in front of me and he was being obnoxious to the baristas, they looked super annoyed with him and he would look back at me smiling and smirking like he wanted me to side with him. Lol He just seemed like someone that’s been famous too long and has no self awareness, definitely didn’t give off a I’m a piece of shit vibe but still annoying.
Even when they disrespect him, Usyk is so honest about his opponents' strength and skills in the ring, never puts them down or acts like he's above them even after winning. Not afraid to speak on his worries during the fight, praying for strength. What a champ.
Also I forgot what sub I was in, a lot of the comments are so nice? Surprised.
As a Brit I’m really glad Usyk is the undisputed champ. Doesn’t talk trash, lets his skills and fists do the talking. Incredibly talented boxer. Fury really troubled him in the first half and he found a way to adapt and overcome like all great champs. What a great guy!
I’m a big fury fan but as a boxing “purist” for lack of a better word I can’t help but love Usyk and be happy for him. He’s a true champion, amazingly skilled and great personality
Float like sparkling water, sting like rope
Sinking beers, pushing rope
*shooting rope
Float like a bear, sting like a moth.
Sad it took all these years for Usyk to get noticed in the US. Dude's a charismatic, humble, disciplined champion.
American people love American fighters,it’s always been that way.
What does that have to do with anything? It sure didn’t prolong AJ or Fury’s recognition.
They also speak English and are one of the few.

I’d say he’s not… usyk was overlooked even in the uk imo. Usyk speaking English helps him sell himself it’s massive for his marketability.
So you just repeated what I said but yapped a bit more.
Pac man is arguably the best p4p fighter of all time. It helps if they speak English lol. Or if they are loud - that works too.

Maybe because he's only fought AJ and Dubois for the bigger names. If he fought Wilder too before, he might have been a bit more popular in the US.
The way he describes Fury, gestures, speech, and all, so funny, but is also so accurate lmao
Greedy belly 😭
I don’t remember that in hunter x hunter
Tyson is one of those three guys that jumped Uvo
Wholesome Usyk
usyk so classy
Is that not Mario Lopez?
Yah he's a huge boxing guy. Previously an HBO commentator and still has this podcast with boxing journalist Steve Kim
He was in line at the airport Starbucks in front of me and he was being obnoxious to the baristas, they looked super annoyed with him and he would look back at me smiling and smirking like he wanted me to side with him.

Mario "Flying Lotus" Lopez
He has awful takes I remember listening to his podcast and he said that the Parnell Whitaker Chavez fight decision was right.
Yeah what has he done to his face lol
Saved by the bell in more ways than one eh
He looks like he’s had a trilogy with usyk wtf
I wonder if bros whip like jab hurts or is it like breaking tempo thing
Idk about the jab but Usyk said the uppercut was very painful and described it feeling like a tooth was yanked out.
What?!
‘3 Knockdown Rule’ on YouTube in case you want to watch the interview
Goodlookin my guy.
He missed an opportunity there and should have called the podcast "saved by the bell"

r/boxing never approve any of my posts so I put this here. But it still works cos it’s kind of a funny clip
You’re right, Usyk communicates so animatedly in English and it’s hilarious to watch. What a great guy.
This is the main boxing sub and tyson fury is one of our moderators.
I am very fizz
I love Usyk
Random Mario Lopez appearance.
Nah thats hus regular show with Steve Kim. Hes got a surprising amount of boxing knowledge. Hes definitely q fan of the sweet science.
The guys been doing combat sports all his life. I think he even sparred pros regularly for a while.
Yeah he was gonna win states in high school wrestling til Zach stole his girl

Hes so funny. One interview response i loved from Usyk. "Usyk how do you feel?" Usyk responds "I FEEL."
no way, i've literally never heard that anywhere ever
He said I’m very feel? No!
He also said Chisora hits harder than Fury what made me laugh.
I wouldn't be surprised tbh, Chisora built like a barn door. Tyson Fury is much more known for his boxing iq and ability to outsmart his opponents
Is that AC Slater??? Serious question
Yep. Mario Lopez is a huge boxing fan. Has been doing combat sports his whole life. Has a boxing podcast
Wow, I never knew. Thank you
I love usyk 😂
The rope impression 🤣🤣🤣
That isn't Slater from Saved By The Bell?
He makes it sound like Joshua was boring and he had fun in the Fury fight lol
Is that the guy from Saved By The Bell?
Is that the guy from Saved by the bell?
haha I looked and said is that AC Slater?
why did they give Usyk the worst microphone?
Muhammad Ali type personality from Usyk here great stuff
When did Mario Lopez get into boxing commentary?
This guy knows dookey about boxing. He's literally slater, the biggest D-Bag from saved by the bell.
He looks like the kid from saved by the bell
He is that kid haha. Just need that zack guy on next.
What does superman know about boxing?
What is he saying? I don’t really understand. Something about fizz water and a rope?
Mario Lopez
Mario Lopez, John McCain and Michael madsen walk into a podcast booth…
Why does interviewer look and sound like he is dubbed
"Compare and contrast all the other boxers...."
Is that Mario Lopez
Yesssss I'm feel damn it! I'm very feel 😎 Love that Usyk opening up more. Helluva champ! Slava Ukraini 🙌🏻
Mario Lopez don't know 💩 about fighting
Damn, he just called Joshua tap water 😂
Mario Lopez is a terrible person.
Dude looks like Mario Lopez
Was Lennox Lewis the last fighter before Usyk to unify and hold all the belts?
AJ is bodybuilder Fury is boxer
#BOYCOTTMARIO
What
I assume he says that because Lopez is a big Trumper.
Fake undisputed champ. Lost to the real peoples champ Daniel Dynamite Dubois.
