The president of Zhytomyr "Polesya" Gennady Butkevich commented on the signing of a full agreement with the famous Ukrainian boxer Alexander Usik.
"I respect and am proud of this man. His attitude to training is a great example for the Polesya team.
Famous promoter Bob Arum once expressed his opinion about Usik: "He is Ukrainian, and Ukrainians fight like nobody else in the world. They weren't given a chance against Russia, such a bigger country. And they beat the shit out of them ... And they still do. Don't underestimate the Ukrainians."
A love of football united our relationship. And his childhood goal, to play great football, will come true," Butkevych said in a comment to the official Polesya website.
