A look at the 5 Usyk last fights before Rico in boxing this weekend to gauge his form book and performances going in.
Usyk has been in strong form in boxing in recent years.
Fighting some of the best and beating them all on the road and in many cases multiple times and knocking them out:
- July 19, 2025: Usyk defeated Daniel Dubois by KO 5 at Wembley Stadium.
- December 21, 2024: Usyk defeated Tyson Fury by unanimous decision in Riyadh.
- May 18, 2024: Usyk defeated Tyson Fury by split decision in Riyadh.
- August 26, 2023: Usyk defeated Daniel Dubois by KO 9 in Wroclaw.
- August 20, 2022: Usyk defeated Anthony Joshua by split decision in Jeddah.
- All 5 bouts were for heavyweight world titles.
- 4 of the 5 bouts were held in Saudi Arabia or UK.
- Usyk weighed 221 to 223 pounds for all 5 bouts.
- Usyk landed 712 punches across the 5 bouts.
- Usyk absorbed 439 punches across the 5 bouts.
- 3 of the 5 bouts went the 12-round distance.
- 2 of the 5 bouts ended by knockout.
- Usyk earned The Ring Fighter of the Year 2024.
- Usyk defended IBF, WBA, and WBO belts in all 5.
- Usyk added the WBC belt in May 2024.
Hence why it is so strange he’s gone from that to fighting a man with just one professional boxing match to his name this weekend.
In the form of kickboxing champion Rico.
Here’s a look at Usyk Rico tale of the tape going into the fight.
