WBA, WBO and IBF world heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usik has spoken about his serious intention to build a professional career as a footballer. Recall, a month ago the famous boxer signed a contract with Zhytomyr "Polesie".
"I'm really going to build a football career. This is serious. Work with the team at training camps, train regularly.
My dream is to play with Dynamo Kyiv. In physical terms, I will "take out" already now. I will be able to run all over the pitch, stand in defence, go in attack. And just imagine, I will score a goal!", - said Usik in MEGOGO.
We would like to add that yesterday in Wroclaw, Poland, a boxing match between Alexander Usik and British Daniel Dubois for the title of world champion in the heavyweight division took place. The fight ended with the victory of the Ukrainian by knockout in the ninth round.
Thus, Usik retained his WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO and The Ring titles. In addition, now the Ukrainian boxer can fight for the title of absolute champion with the owner of the WBC belt Tyson Fury.
