Oleksandr Usyk, the world champion in heavyweight according to WBC, WBA, IBO, and IBF versions, shared his opinion about the head of IBA, Umar Kremlev. The Ukrainian champion called the open 'Putin supporter' Kremlev a bad guy.

"He's a bad guy. This guy is like a snake," said Usyk.

Let's recall, it was with the full support of Kremlev that the IBA allowed boxers from Russia and Belarus to participate in all tournaments with their flags and anthems.
