WBO, WBA and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk said he wants to play in the Ukrainian championship among UPL teams.
Oleksandr Usyk“I really want to play in the Premier League. I already have one childhood dream come true - I played for the professional football team "Polesie" in a friendly match in Turkey. And now, when the guys work a little, with God's help, the teams will advance to the Premier League (At the moment, Polesie is playing in the first league - ed.). And I think that they will give me seven minutes of the second half to play in the big leagues.
Yes, this is a completely different level, I will prepare for this, lose some weight to be faster on the field - not with my hands, but with my legs. By role I am a central striker, but I can run all over the field. Budkovsky has nothing to worry about. When we played in Turkey, I replaced Philip. But you can also play two forwards,” Usyk said in a commentary on FootbalHub.
