Holder of WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight belts Alexander Usik said that for him it has more serious meaning than the title of absolute champion.

“It means more to me to be a normal, decent person than to be number one in heavyweight,” the Ukrainian said in an interview with The Gloves Are Off project.

Let us remind you that on February 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Usik will hold a unification fight with the holder of the WBC belt Tyson Fury.
