A candidate for the post of mayor of Kyiv? Usyk turned to Vitaliy Klitschko

The world champion in super heavyweight admitted that he is not going to get into politics”, — write: sport.ua

Absolute world champion in super heavyweight (over 90.7 kg) Oleksandr Usyk (25–0, 14 KO) admitted that he is not going to get into politics and will continue his work on various business projects:

– What are your plans? For example, go into business or politics. Or the mayor of Kyiv – this position belongs to a boxer, you will feel fine there.

– Vitaliy Volodymyrovych, everything is fine – I definitely don’t want to be mayor. I have a company called Ready to Fight, which deals not only with boxing. Professional boxing is about 50 percent business and 50 percent sport. If you don’t do your job well, you will lose, and your business will lose.

In Ready to Fight, we can promote an athlete, make promotional, managerial, legal decisions, find a trainer, a doctor, that is, we form a team. We are engaged in the production of things for sports, various equipment.

I am more interested in business than five years ago. I make money and it has to work. Why just buy yourself diamonds and gold? I’m not that kind of person, I’m not interested in just showing off,” Usyk admitted.

Usyk's next opponent may be a Russian. How is that possible?
