“The former promoter of the Ukrainian boxer opposed the fight with Daniel Dubois”, — write: sport.ua
“Our contract expired before the fight with Joshua in 2021. After that, no one owed anything to anyone, but we continued to work together. Usyk needed my work, I needed him, like an athlete.
Then it all came to an end. If I put my hand on my heart, I was an opponent of the fight with DuBois. Even at the time of the fight with Fury, Alexander had achieved everything that could be achieved.
The DuBois fight didn’t bring in nearly as much money as Usyk did with Tyson or Joshua. He didn’t even stand nearby, despite the fact that he became the absolute champion.
Second, the risk with Dubois was high and unjustified. Daniel is a behemoth, a big guy with a concrete head. You go out and you can fall from any blow. And then your entire career, which you have been building for 15 years, goes down the drain.
Some people in Usyk’s team were interested in milking… Buying sandwiches for something. The battle with Dubois was unnecessary. I no longer influenced this decision, but in any case I would be responsible later.
I said: “San, now there is such a story in the team, I am not in this direction. I will go against the flow, and it will hinder you. Why should I work against you?”.
I wrote to Usyk before the fight: “I will forever remain the promoter of the two-time champion, and I wish you to win this title for the third time,” Krasiuk said.
