Title: The two-time undisputed club

Only three fighters in men's boxing history have entered the four-belt undisputed club twice.
America's Terence Crawford and Japan's Naoya Inoue join Oleksandr Usyk in that very club but the difference is Ukraine's Usyk is looking to achieve this for a third time.
The best ever?
