WBA, WBO and IBF Heavyweight Champion Oleksandr Usyk told how he relates to women's boxing.

ā€œI am not very enthusiastic about this. Why? Because for me, the female sex is flowers that need to be watered, that should please the eye, smell sweet. For me, women's contact sports are not really a priority.

"For myself, without sparring or wearing some kind of protective helmet, this is a very wonderful sport. At home, my daughter and I beat a little on the paws, she makes dodgers, but this is exclusively for sports and for a healthy lifestyle, but in no case for competitions. Why? Because this is a contact, tough sport, and a girl, in my understanding, is something soft, something kind, light. She takes a little on the side of the man.

"Iā€™ll say that Iā€™m not for. Many girls, thanks to some of these contact sports, have improved their lives quite well in material terms or in some other way. The world is developing very strongly and everything else, but I'm not for it. I will not say that I am tolerant, and let it be so. Iā€™ll just say that Iā€™m not in favor,ā€ Usyk said on his YouTube channel USYK17.
