Usyk: I have a calm attitude for the recognition

Andrew Karlov Jan. 2, 2019, 6:39 p.m.

The undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk received many awards on his results of 2018. Usyk has been recognized as the best boxer by the most reputable sports channels and publications in the world, including ESPN, Sports Illustrated, BoxingScene and Yahoo Sports. Nevertheless, the athlete himself, by his own words, does not give much importance to this.

“I am very calm about this, I don’t go crazy because of this and I don’t feel myself best in the world. Thank God everything turns out that way. It is necessary to continue to work, put even more efforts. What made me who I am now? Hard work. You need to be a little “crazy”, stubborn and work hard,” said Usyk.
