The United Champion of Pupil weight Alexander Usyk (23, 14 KOs) excluded his return to the heavy weight category. Our compatriot noted that now it will be difficult for him to play in the division again, in which he collected all the belts in 2018 before the transition to Hevivee.
Usik said about this in an interview with the Sky Sports YouTube channel. The 38-year-old Ukrainian boxer emphasized that he also listens to the opinion of his team members, who categorically do not advise him to leave heavyweight, since due to his age it will be difficult for him to stay in the regulations of the division.
" I spent six years to gain this weight. I work, work, work, eat, eat, eat and work. And now again lose weight? No. My coach and my team tell me: " So says my team, not me. I am 38 years old, but I feel young, I am young. I feel good, ”said Usyk.
The day before, our compatriot called his opponent in the next battle.
Alexander also said that he was preparing to hold the most unusual fight in his career, which he is going to finish in the near future.
In addition, Usik did not believe that Tyson Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) really finally left boxing, and also refused to fight in Ukraine for Bridgereveta belt.
Last week, it became known that our compatriot can deprive the belt of the World Boxing Council (WBC). In addition, the promoter Alexander Krasyuk called the deadlines when the boxer would hold his next fight after two victories over Fury.
