Oleksandr KRASYUK: “Usyk did not have time to starve in the basement”
Oleksandr Krasyuk, promoter of WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, explained why his client lost weight.
“You don’t feel hungry sitting in the basement just because you hear an air strike warning amid the threat of a missile attack.
I had the same. Most of us have had the same effect. Yes, we lost a lot of weight. We were under stress. This is normal for this period. Human psychology is very complex.
It takes time to get used to new challenges, new conditions and new environment. Then you get used to it and you don’t worry anymore. This happened.
Usyk has really lost weight like all of us but I don’t think it will affect his condition. Preparation comes with hard work at boot camp. The training camp started in early April, so it’s going well. Thank God it is going very well now. He’s very motivated,” said Krasyuk.
