Former Dynamo coach Jozsef Szabo expressed his opinion on what chances Oleksandr Usyk would have had to play football at a high level if he had not chosen boxing.
Jozsef Szabo"It's hard to say in hindsight. Usyk is a great boxer, a world champion, but I don't know what kind of footballer he is. Now he definitely won't be able to play football at a high level, even though he has signed a contract with Polissia. His time, like Milevsky's, has already passed.
It's clear that he has no problems with his physicality, but what about the rest... If Usyk had shown good promise in football in his youth, I think he would have continued playing. If he chose boxing, it's his sport. What can I say if Sasha is an undefeated world champion!
Do you know how my brothers trained me when I was young? God forbid that I smoked, drank or went out! I am very grateful to them for that. It was thanks to my brothers that I became a disciplined footballer. When I had money, I repaid them by having my suits made to order, because they were not sold in stores, and I helped them buy flats. I have already buried all my brothers, may they rest in peace, but I am still eternally grateful to them.
Usyk vs Fury fight? The Briton is bigger, but Usyk is more mobile in the ring, he has good footwork. Of course, I'll be rooting for Usyk. My prediction: Usyk will win on points, he'll wrap up Fury. The main thing is that Fury doesn't disrupt the fight again, as he did in February. I think he did it on purpose. Maybe the Briton wasn't ready for that fight. I'm sure that Fury's team cheated and deliberately cut him open. They are some kind of mafia!" said Sabo.
