He is only the fourth fighter in history to win world titles at both cruiserweight and heavyweight, a feat that speaks to his power and adaptability. His 79% knockout rate and his ability to unify the cruiserweight division by beating Denis Lebedev and Yuniel Dorticos mark him as a standout talent. Moving up to heavyweight, he continued his winning ways, culminating in a knockout of Kubrat Pulev for the WBA (Regular) title. His elevation to WBA Super champion in 2026 solidifies his place among the elite.
