Goalkeeper of Dynamo Kyiv and the Ukrainian national team Georgiy Buschan spoke about his attitude towards boxing.
— Do you follow professional boxing? Who is interesting to watch?
- Yes, I follow our fighters - Alexander Usyk and Denis Berinchyk.
— Among the football players there are guys who play Counter Strike. Are there anyone with whom you could talk about boxing in the locker room?
— Yes, older guys. We were just in Bucharest when Usyk was fighting, preparing for a match in the Conference League. 6 or 7 people sat, watched the battle, supported Alexander and rejoiced at his victory.
— Goalkeepers don’t run the most in football. Usik can run an incredible number of kilometers in the ring during a fight. How many kilometers per match do you run and do you run in your free time to keep fit?
— I only run on vacation, when I’m preparing for training camp. During a game, goalkeepers walk, perhaps it would be more correct, on average 5 km.
Let us remind you that on August 26, Oleksandr Usyk knocked out Daniel Dubois in the ninth round. On February 17 in Riyadh, the Ukrainian will fight for the title of absolute heavyweight champion with Tyson Fury.
