WBA, WBA, WBO and WBC heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk said that he did not start building a professional career in the United States, because in this case he could lose his family.

"In 2013, I didn't sign with America because I realized I had to go for at least six months anyway. Katusha ... she doesn't like America at all, to go. I said, "Well, it's for work, that's all and everything." I say there are no other options.
.

She's such a motivational speaker. She says, "You're a smart person, you can find any option. I know that." Really I realized that if I went away for six months, it's 2013 there, in the tenth we had a wedding. This is the moment that if I left, I would lose my family. And I realized for myself that no America would be better for me than my family. I already had an offer from K2, from the British had an offer, and I chose K2 with the words that I will get from here, I will get on HBO," said Usyk in an interview with Slava Demin.
