Usyk: "I respect my opponents, because I know that boxing is a tough sport"

WBA, WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk has spoken out about the difficulty of his sport.

"I respect all my opponents because I know that boxing is a tough sport. It's not easy at all! You train every day, you get injured every day. People have a stereotype that boxing is easy. They think a boxer gets a lot of money for one fight. "Yeah, I can do that too." No, you can't! You won't last even one minute in sparring!" - Usyk stated in an interview with DAZN.

Recall that this Saturday, May 18, Usyk will fight for the title of absolute champion in the heavyweight division against Tyson Fury.
