According to him, he would like to meet with Russian boxers Murat Gassiev and Denis Lebedev to hold a unification championship fight, but the situation is too politicized and the promoters will not allow this.
“The point here is not that Russian boxers, it’s just that our people immediately begin to turn everything into politics. In fact, for boxing fans it would be a crazy fight, such a gift if we met Murat or Denis. These would be good fights for boxing, for boxing fans. And then they immediately start to involve politics, and some kind of garbage starts pouring out. Here we generally need to forget about politics... It doesn’t matter to me at all, I’m ready to go to any city in the world, country in the world and perform there. Because I love what I do and I’m ready to go to Moscow or other cities and box with these guys,” Usik said.
Let us remind you that Usik represents the promotion company K2 Promotions, which belongs to the Klitschko brothers.
Note that back in 2014 Usik claimedthat Crimea is Ukraine. True, last year, when he was asked at a press conference whether Crimea was Ukraine, he answered: “Crimea is Crimea.” Later Usik shaved off his hairstyle.
