Usyk thought about the end of his sports career

Ukrainian WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight champion wants to retire.

Oleksandr Usyk does not want to box until old age. Moreover, the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight champion of the world is starting to think about retirement.

According to the Ukrainian boxer, every athlete in his way has a point where he should stop, realistically assessing his condition. In addition, he wants to spend more time with his family.

“Is Fury the final boss in this game? In the big game, I think. I think I want to spend more time raising my kids, taking the boys to training, training with them, getting from in training, talking to them, take them to school, help them grow.

They were just beginning their journey, eight or ten year old boys. With my son, I behave differently. But I don’t want to go and stay in one place for six months. Now, when the last camp was so long, I thought more about the fact that the boys were growing, but I wasn’t. By phone, by video communication, you cannot give what you should give.

Of course, everything has an end. In the career of an athlete, there is also. I’ll think about it. I really think so.

I want to live after this. And do not tremble or write what I have tomorrow. We must look at everything realistically. I see that I am not that old, I am 35 years old, but I see that there is a resource that is running out. You don’t want to get beat up later.

You cannot engage in self-deception. If you understand that young men are fit, and they have better speed, they are more durable. You just have to say to yourself: “Friend, choose a different type of activity and work.” Everything,” Usyk said in an interview on the YouTube channel USYK17.

Earlier, Oleksandr Usyk said when he will start preparing for the fight with Tyson Fury.
