Krasiuk advised Ukrainian boxers to get rid of Rocky Balboa syndrome

Oleksandr Usyk's promoter Oleksandr Usyk, answering a question about Vasyl Lomachenko's career, wished all Ukrainian boxers to get rid of the Rocky Balboa syndrome.

"It's very difficult to talk about history in the subjunctive mood. Lomachenko had not the worst career in professional boxing. But it is eloquent that the Rocky Balboa syndrome (the American dream of our boxers and the hope that a contract with an American promoter is a ticket to the sporting and financial Olympus) should leave the heads of boxers. The example of Usik shows that the American promoter is not a mandatory reason for success," - said the functionary.

Recall, on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Oleksandr Usyk will fight for the title of absolute world champion in heavyweight with Tyson Fury.
