“It was 2013, I think. Savik Shuster Studio. And we just started collaborating with Usik. And not only Vladimir was there, Vitaly was also there in the studio. I won’t say that it was impromptu. It was, let's say, a well-prepared impromptu.
But what Usyk said was not a joke. He said this from his heart. He knew where he would go. And we see confirmation: he knew where he would go. The fact that it sounded like that was because the age difference between them was quite significant.
What sounded a little funny, because such a puny boy and two brothers, already outstanding champions, so already seasoned, and kind of like Usyk: “Oh, get ready, you’ll be leaving soon.” Sounds funny at the time. Now, in fact, no one has any doubts,” Krasyuk said in an interview with the Sport Arena YouTube channel.
