“People today are too lazy intellectually and believe everything they are told on TV,” he says. Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs), IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight champion, who is currently preparing for a rematch with Anthony Joshua (24 -2, 22 KOs).
The Ukrainian initially did not want to leave his native Ukraine and stood to protect the country from the military occupation of the Russian Federation, but then, at the insistence of his friends, he decided that he would do more with gloves than with weapons in his hands. In recent days, Usyk was in the Czech Republic, where he began training, but plans to change his location soon.
Usyk is trying to turn off all information about the war in order to focus on a difficult rematch with Joshua.
“I realized a long time ago that television is a huge pile of shit that only deceives you. All this information and news is meant to give people some direction in their thinking, and that's what television is for. So instead of watching TV, I call people from the army or the city where something is happening and ask for first-hand information. I haven't watched TV for many years, I'm just looking for direct sources. People should read books, develop their minds. Unfortunately, they have become too lazy and prefer to believe what the TV tells them. And television often manipulates them,” Usyk said in an interview with Tipsport.
