Oleksandr Usyk, the absolute heavyweight champion of the world, who is also a player of Polissia, said that he used to support Manchester United.
"When I was younger, I always supported Manchester United. I was a fan of Gary Neville and other players like David Beckham. Back then, they were a tough team to play against. But if we talk about my favorite football players, it's probably Andriy Shevchenko, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and the Brazilian Ronaldo. Obviously, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were also great players for me.
I always wanted to be a football player and I like training with Polissia. It gives me the opportunity to relax and take my mind off boxing for a while. After my victory over Tyson Fury in May, I didn't celebrate as usual. I just had a quiet dinner with my family and spent time playing soccer - I didn't even think about becoming an absolute champion," Usyk said in an interview with the Daily Mail.
