Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk (23–0, 14 KOs), who holds the WBC, WBO and WBA heavyweight titles, admitted that he didn’t like watching boxing as a child:
“As a child, I did not like boxing, I was more interested in football. My father was a fan of this sport. When I lived in a village in Chernihiv, my dad used to wake me up at seven in the morning to watch boxing. These were fights between the Klitschko brothers, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and many others,” Usyk recalled.
In the last fight, the Ukrainian defeated Tyson Fury by unanimous decision of the judges (116:112 – three times). Earlier, Oleksandr Usyk talked about the most difficult moment in the ring.
