WBA, WBO, WBC, and IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk told us why he decided to sign a contract with Zhytomyr-based Polissya.
- "It's a dream come true. Now, thank God, I am not dependent on money. I am not dependent on sponsors. I don't have any sponsorship contracts in principle.
The point is that it was my dream to play in the UPL. And Polissia and the club's president Gennadiy Butkevych made it happen. I realized my dream. It's about the development of sports, the team and friendship with a person with whom it is very pleasant to communicate. Just to have lunch, ask questions that he has already lived, and I still have to live.
And I don't need to learn from him how to overcome difficulties. I need to know how he got through the difficulties and what he did when it was difficult. Did he cry crocodile tears or did he say "figures" and work," Usyk said in an interview with Buniversity.
