Unified World Heavyweight Champion Alexander Usik explained why he does not need to have extremely negative feelings towards his opponents.

“I don’t need hate at all because I do my job 300%. I love what I do. And hatred begets hatred. “I have sports anger, that’s enough for me,” the Ukrainian said in an interview for the Gloves Off show on TNT Sports.

Let us remind you that on February 17 in Riyadh, Usik will hold a unification fight with WBC champion Tyson Fury.
