The infamous Ukrainian boxer Ivan Redkach told how he offered Ukrainian heavyweight Igor Shevazudsky to challenge Oleksandr Usykcalling him.
“There is such a fighter Shevadzutsky in Ukraine. A chubby heavyweight, he looks like Shrek. He won, and I advised him once after the fight: “Say something like “I’ll beat you, asshole” to Usyk or “You’re next, I’ll kill you, freak,” and the like.” 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,” Redkach said.
Recall that earlier Redkach said that half of Ukraine does not like Lomachenko.
