WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk named his favorite football players.
“Of the Ukrainian footballers, the most beloved is Andriy Nikolaevich Shevchenko. Generally speaking, when I watched football as a child, I really liked Batistuta. I also liked the way Rooney played. And in general, I sympathized with English football. But if you choose one best football player, not counting the Ukrainians, then it’s still Batistuta, ”Usyk said on the air of the USYK17 Youtube channel.
