Usyk earned the honor when he was awarded a 12-round split decision against Tyson Fury. In addition to defending his unified championship, which included the IBF, WBA and WBO titles, Usyk added the WBC belt to his collection, and also earned a valid claim as the lineal world champion.
Usyk and Fury are scheduled to have a rematch on December 21 that will be broadcast live around the world on DAZN.
