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.
