The head coach of the Ukrainian national boxing team, Dmytro Sosnovskyy, has specified what prize money for Olympic medals Oleksandr Usyk promised to Ukrainian boxers.
"A mistake was made there. He's humble, Sasha, they understated what he said there. I can repeat it. He came to the base, purely to the guys, called everyone and said: "I personally from myself allocate the prize money." He promised $100,000 for first place, $70,000 for second place, and either 55 or 50 for third place. 100, 70 и 50. And then someone said something different, and they twisted it. I want to tell you, I had to work with them too, and him. I think it's honorable. We have a lot of outstanding athletes, I mean boxers, who have also earned no less money. If less, then not much less than Sasha. What's more, he opened his purse right there too and handed out money to the guys. Each one."
