The promoter of the Ukrainian world champion Alexander Krasyuk said when his protégé will retire from sports.
Alexander Usik does not plan to hang up his gloves and compete in the professional ring for another three years. This is what the promoter of the Ukrainian IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight world champion Alexander Krasyuk thinks.
The functionary compared his ward to legendary former boxer Vitali Klitschko.
“He’s already 36 years old and he still has three years to show his best. The only thing that worries us is his health problem, so that could be a problem. If his body is still ready to fight, I don’t think so. he’s leaving. I’ll tell you that I’ve been in contact with Oleksandr Usyk since his first professional fight in 2013, and we’ve been very close to each other for the past 10 years, but he’s still a kid at heart. guy and has never faced retirement and has no idea how difficult it is for a fighter to leave boxing.
I just remember Vitali Klitschko, he left boxing for four years, and then came back and won the WBC belt. The reason was not money, but he missed sports. He is now a politician and businessman, but he misses this sport, and despite the fact that he is over 50, he still trains. The mayor of Kyiv still misses sports, and when it comes to boxing, I still see the inspiration coming from Vitaly,” Boxing Scene quotes Krasyuk.
Let’s remember that Krasyuk said earlier why he wanted to organize a fight between Usik and Wilder.
