The WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight world champion spoke about his addiction to football.
Oleksandr Usyk commented on the sale of Mikhail Mudrik to London Chelsea. The WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight world champion admitted that he did not consider the amount of 100 million paid for a football player to be too high. In his opinion, the midfielder of the Ukrainian national team is more expensive.
“The numbers? No, it’s not surprising. Everything is at a height. Steel prices are higher than ever. I think he’s worth more than 100 million. Because I’ve been watching this guy.
By the way, I saw him for the first time, they probably played in the U-18 or U-19 team. An eye-catching hairstyle, tattoos. I mean, he played, and I watched him, and I liked it. For me, this year can bring the fourth Ballon d’Or to Ukraine,” Usyk said in an interview with the Parimatch Ukraine channel on YouTube.
The boxer also spoke about his addiction to football. According to him, he has been a fan of Dynamo Kyiv for a long time and hopes to play against the White-Blues in the UPL one day.
“Dynamo is a team that my father, who no longer exists, introduced me to. When I arrived at the Tavria stadium, it had not yet been reconstructed, the benches they were sitting on were wooden, like stacked rails.
It was 2001 or 2002 when Tavria played for Dynamo. As I recall, Tavriya won 4:3. This is a fun game. I heard from my father that this is a team, Dynamo, I watched it on TV, and then I met this team live. Since then I have been a fan of this club. I think it’s a tribute to my father, who introduced me to the sport. For me, of course, this club is native.
Polissya, because Gennady Vladislavovich, my oldest friend, is the owner of this club. I will support this club, I love it. There are cool guys. Despite the fact that there are old men, they feel like they are 20 years old. But Dynamo at heart.
When Polissya enters the Premier League, I will play for them in the UPL against Dynamo,” Usyk said.
