Usik: “I carry the strength of my father within me”

Alexander Usik, world heavyweight champion according to WBA, IBF and WBO, spoke about the role his late father plays in his life.

“My father saw my victory at the Olympics in London, and this is very important to me. Every day I pray for my father. He gave me this life and it was he who often told me in my childhood: “Son, you can do anything.” This still gives me great motivation. Understand, my father is always there for me. It's true. I carry within me the strength of my father. His photograph is always with me,” said the boxer.

Let us remind you that on February 17, the fight between Alexander Usik and Tyson Fury will take place in Saudi Arabia. The title of absolute world heavyweight champion will be at stake.
