Is Usyk on steroids?

[Jacobson]

Fury accused Usyk of being a “little steroid man” when he moved up to HW and beat Joshua. People say Pacquiao took steroids because he moved up and kept his power and stamina, his head got bigger, etc but the same can be said of Usyk.


Usyk and his team have always denied the allegations. What do you think?

Usyk has been tested his whole career inc vs Fury (Bellew, Dubois, AJ etc) and never came back dirty. He is among the most if not the most tested fighter in the world and never once failed a test. Fury on the other hand..

[The Big Dunn]

Usyk? No. Especially given how many times he’s fought in his opponent’s home country and been tested.

Aside from being well drug tested, Usyk doesn't even have the look of a steroid user. He looks totally natural. He's just a cruiserweight who added 20 pounds. It didn't happen overnight either because in the Chisora fight he still looked like a cruiserweight.

Also don't forget that cruiserweight to heavyweight isn't quite as big of a jump as it used to be because cruiserweight used to be 190lbs back when Holyfield made the transition.

People who fight regularly arent su****ious usually Plus Usyk not done anything out of the ordinary. Pac won titles in 8 divisions which some thought was inhuman so thought maybe Pac needed assistance.

Agreed plus Usyk ISN'T a massive puncher either (60% KO ratio). In fact, Dubois is the only Heavyweight he's stopped to date.

his stamina is very good tho he outlasts all his opponents, thats where a lot of peds can shine, not saying thats the case with him of course but noone can be sure 100% of anyone i dont think really

[NihonJim]

His stamina at his age is su****ious plus he's from the neck of the woods where peds are rampant, there's no way to know for sure but I'd hardly be shocked put it that way

[IronDanHamza]

More than likely he is, yeah.

Doesn't really matter because we'll never know unless he fails a test which is extremely unlikely to happen, if he was to be using PEDs.

Why would that make any difference?
