WBO champion in the first heavyweight champion Alexander Usik told FootballHub about his unfinished football career.
At a young age, Sasha played for the Simferopol "Tavria", although he was rooting for the Kiev "Dynamo".
Usik with the author of the rubric #whatsup Vladimir Kobelkov staged a "verbal battle" about the best sport in Ukraine.
- Football, they say, sport number 1 in Ukraine. What do you think?.
- How did you determine that sport number 1 in our country is football? I do not know who defined it. It's probably the footballer said - Sport # 1 in Ukraine, in your opinion, is it boxing?.
- Of course! We can just take the Olympics. At us on the Olympic Games the national team of Ukraine was carried by 7 persons. A medal brought 5 of them.
- There are teams that win and 25 medals.
- Which team wins 25 medals? For example, did the national team of Ukraine on football bring 25 medals from somewhere? From the World Cup brought 25 medals of gold medals?.
- Since the Olympics we also did not have 5 gold.
- There were two gold pieces. At the World Championships there were 4 gold.
- We have 3 Golden Balls: Shevchenko, Blokhin, Belanov.
- Class! We have 4 Olympic gold: Klitschko, two Lomachenko and Usik.
