‘He’s the king slayer’ – Lennox Lewis names only heavyweight capable of beating Oleksandr Usyk

Published on May 21, 2025 at 11:57 AM

LENNOX LEWIS claimed there is only one “king slayer”;; capable of beating Oleksandr Usyk.

Usyk is 23-0 with undisputed titles at cruiserweight and heavyweight – beating both and twice.

He also stopped in 2023 but only after low-blow controversy in round five.

Usyk hit the floor after the referee deemed a blow to be below the belt –

He eventually lost in nine rounds but has built himself back up to win the IBF title – knocking out AJ in September.

And Lewis – Britain’s last undisputed heavyweight champ – has backed Dubois to beat Usyk

He told Queensberry: “I’m thinking he’s ready. He’s been through the trials and tribulations.

“He’s the king slayer. He’s got the power. He’s been there before. He was just there, he knocked [Usyk] down, so he knows what he needs to do.

“It would be great for him to do it, another man from Great Britain. It’s not an easy task, but he’s definitely the man that can go through with it.

“He’s done the work. He’s gone through the pedigree. He’s a certified world champion and I think he has big hopes on doing it. He’s going to do it.”;;

Usyk, 38, became the heavyweight division’s first four-belt undisputed champ after beating Fury, 36, last May.

But he had to vacate the IBF version to proceed with his December rematch against Fury – which he won on points.

Dubois, 27, was meanwhile elevated from interim to full champ and defended it with his KO over Joshua, 35, at Wembley.
