Oleksandr Usyk snubs Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua when naming the biggest puncher he's faced in his career

Oleksandr Usyk has snubbed Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua when naming the biggest puncher he has faced in his career.

After dominating at cruiserweight, Usyk has completed a clean sweep in the heavyweight division - beating British pair Fury and Joshua to eventually become undisputed heavyweight champion.

He bested Joshua in consecutive fights before becoming the first man to defeat Fury in Saudi Arabia last month.

The Ukrainian produced a scintillating performance to win via split decision and add the WBC world heavyweight strap to his collection.

But despite Fury being Usyk's most difficult test, he believes the toughest puncher he has come up against was in just his second heavyweight contest.

Usyk took on Derek Chisora and though he won comfortably to claim the WBO Inter-Continental heavyweight belt, he felt 'Del Boy's power'.

Speaking on the 3 Knockdown Rule podcast, Usyk said: "Toughest fight - yes. "Biggest punch - no. Because Derek Chisora, very tough guy. [One punch landed] on the gloves and I said, 'Oh my God.' Like a baseball bat.”

Usyk's rematch with Fury is scheduled to take place on December 21 in Saudi, though it is unclear at this point if it will be for all of the belts.

But he is already planning to head back to cruiserweight, his usual division, as he does not enjoy the demands placed on his body.

The 37-year-old has plans to become a two-time undisputed champion at cruiserweight.

"I think maybe after the rematch, I am going to go down in weight to cruiserweight. I want more [fights at] cruiserweight," Usyk added, explaining his next moves.

"Maybe I can be undisputed for a second time in the cruiserweight division, it's my plan. When I start to prepare for my training camp [as a heavyweight], I have to eat all the time. For me it's hard, I don't like it."
