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.

Tsarukyan – about the grappling fight with Shara Bullet: “During the process, he became afraid. I was late for my flight and didn’t board the plane.”
UFC fighter Arman Tsarukyan said that a grappling fight with Sharabutdin Magomedov, nicknamed Shara Bullet, may not take place.
The fight is scheduled for December 30 and should take place in Armenia.
“He’s some kind of strange pirate.” Doesn’t want to take over Armenia. Along the way, he became afraid. I was late for my flight and didn’t board the plane. Along the way, all his conversations were just water.
Let’s see, there will be a press conference. Whether this pirate will come or not. If not, then his nickname needs to be changed. You understand which one,” Tsarukyan said while communicating with fans on social networks.
Tsarukyan defeated New Zealander Dan Hooker by submission in the second round at UFC Fight Night 265 in November 2025. He has 23 wins and three losses in MMA.
