Oleksandr recently signed a one-year contract with Polissya
Former World Light Heavyweight Champion Alexander Gvozdyk commented on the contract of the WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk with the club Ukrainian Premier League Polissya.
“To be honest, I don’t know what Usyk’s football career will result in. Sasha has an understanding of football, he will not be an invisible player on the field and will be able to benefit the team. But I doubt that he will play 90 minutes in key matches. I do not think that he is considered as the main player of the team. And going out for 10-30 minutes is no problem.”
“It is unlikely that he will play during the preparation for the fight, for example, as he is now against Dubois. And in order to run around in football after the fight, there will be no problems. We [боксеры] We also run a lot, although there are fewer football players. Secondly, he has flair, agility and sports anger.
“I am sure that Sasha will be able to score. He can open up and take a position, but he knows how to hit. If Usyk gets a good pass at the right moment, he will do it. It’s not me to release on the field, which the ball in my life has not seen. Usyk has been playing football for years and understands what needs to be done. While we can’t talk about San as a professional footballer, he can 100% hit the ball into the goal.”
Usyk’s agreement with Polissya is designed for one year. The boxer received the 17th game number.
Usyk is a fan of the Zhytomyr club, and also played for Polesie in the Winter Cup friendly tournament.
In the 1st round of the new UPL draw, Polesie will play with Veres. The fight will take place on July 28 in Zhytomyr.
On August 26, Usyk will fight against Briton Daniel Dubois. The fight will take place in Wroclaw, Poland, at the Tarczynski Arena.
