usyk is an extraordinary athlete. i mean, he's getting on in years.like a monk, his training regimen is absolutely extraordinary. there's no—one like him. no—one works as hard in the gym. he doesn't have off days really. so i think he's, pound—for—pound, the greatest boxer in the sport at the moment. i mean, that's debateable, but i think he is. whether he's the greatest heavyweight of all time, he's not, because he doesn't have the depth in his record at heavyweight. i think he needs another couple of fights to really put himself in the top five in history. stay with us here on bbc news. hello again. it's already very windy out there across many parts of the uk. we've got gusts of 50—60mph. higher than that across the far north and the west of scotland. but very tricky conditions, i imagine, on some coastal areas today. and again, if you're travelling, there could be some disruption. this is an idea of where we'll see those strong winds, more so towards northern areas. but all of us today will notice the windy weather even across eastern areas gusts

"what if i don't communicate, don't let everybody know how "many miles i'm running, how much food i'm eating?" he's had no contact, so he claimed to me, except with his children, his fami
