Absolute world champion in the super heavyweight category Oleksandr Usyk told how many people close to him spoke out against his transition from the first heavyweight division to the heavyweight division.
"I was told by many people that I shouldn't move from cruiserweight to heavyweight, because I'm small and I won't succeed. However, throughout my life I hear that I won't succeed, but it's only those who don't try to do something that don't succeed. I'm not going to listen to those who say I won't succeed. On the contrary, I believe that I will succeed. My most opponents opponent is me," - said Usyk on his YouTube channel.
Recall that on May 18, Usyk unified in his hands belts in all prestigious versions in the heavyweight division, defeating Tyson Fury by split decision. The fight took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
