“My favorite athlete is Muhammad Ali. I know a lot about him, read a lot. I was born on the same day, in the same month as him, only a little later. For me, this is a great legend.
When he was alive, I talked to him. When I listened to him, I discovered that he is exactly the same as I read about him in books. He said that he owed a lot to his grandmother, that she helped him in many ways - just as it was in his biography. Athletes, boxers, who have conquered the peaks - each of them is an example, you can take an example from each, learn how to succeed. Absolutely each of them can be a model of diligence,” Usyk said in an interview with Interia.
