Usyk wins easy in heavyweight debut

Oleksandr Usyk TKO7 Chazz Witherspoon... In Chicago, former world cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk made a successful heavyweight debut against no-hoper Chazz Witherspoon. Coming off eleven months of inactivity, Usyk won all seven rounds under Witherspoon quit on his stool after seven rounds. In fairness to Witherspoon, he did not have an opportunity to train for the fight because he accepted it on Monday as a late replacement for Tyrone Spong, who did not pass his PED tests. Witherspoon (38-4) gave an honest effort against a highly skilled opponent and should not be criticized for remaining on his stool. Usyk is listed at 17-0 but he has a long and storied career as an Olympian .A more accurate record for him is 38-2 because he had many pro bouts in the World Series of Boxing. Hopefully, Usyk gets a quick turnaround and can fight again in January. source: dazn
