The infamous Ukrainian boxer Ivan Redkach told how he offered Ukrainian heavyweight Igor Shevazudsky to challenge Oleksandr Usykcalling him.
āThere is such a fighter Shevadzutsky in Ukraine. A chubby heavyweight, he looks like Shrek. He won, and I advised him once after the fight: āSay something like āIāll beat you, assholeā to Usyk or āYouāre next, Iāll kill you, freak,ā and the like.ā And he says: "No, he is my friend." And how is he going to fight for the title of world champion, even if he is afraid to challenge his friend, brother or sponsor? I don't know who he is. He is afraid to challenge,ā Redkach said.
Recall that earlier Redkach said that half of Ukraine does not like Lomachenko.
