WBO, IBF, WBA world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) spoke about the end of his career.
Is Fury the final boss in the game? In the big game, I think so. I think that I want to devote more time to raising my children, to take the guys to training, to be with them at training, to pick them up from training, to communicate with them, to take them to school, to help them grow.
They are just starting their journey, 8-10 years old guys. With my daughter, I behave differently. But I don’t want to go and stay somewhere for six months. Now, when the last camp was so long, I already thought more about the fact that the boys are growing up, but I'm not.
Through the phone, through video communication, you cannot give what you have to give. Of course, everything has an end point. It also exists in the career of an athlete. I'm thinking about it. I really think.
I still want to live after this. And don't go shaking or write down what I have tomorrow. You have to look at everything realistically. I see that I am not so old, I am 35 years old, but I see that there is a resource that is running out. I don't want to be beaten up later.
You cannot engage in self-deception. If you understand that young guys are suitable, and they have better speed, they are more enduring. You just need to say to yourself: "Friend, choose another type of activity and work." That's it," the Ukrainian said in an episode on his YouTube channel.
