Oleksandr Usyk, WBA, WBO, IBF heavyweight champion of the world, told what he wanted to become as a child.

"When I was little, I practiced folk dancing. As a kid, I dreamed of becoming a singer or a dancer. At home, I would take my mom's perfume and sing into it like a microphone. I also always dreamed of learning to act in theater or movies. But my family didn't have the money for that. Mom and Dad worked, but were only able to buy food and clothes. My dad said to me, "I know what you want, but we don't have the opportunity." I said: "No problem! I'll go to work and earn money!" And in general for me dancing, singing, boxing are part of my life. I don't like too serious people who don't smile," Usik said in an interview with Mail Sport Boxing.
