The current Sunderland player Aaron Connolly is a product of Brighton. He made his debut for the first team in the 2019/20 season and managed to score three goals and one assist.
However, his career took a turn for the worse after that. In an interview for Sunderland's official YouTube channel, he admitted what the reason was.
Details: According to Aaron Connolly, he is addicted to alcohol and is currently undergoing treatment. He said that he could not control it, so he turned to professionals.
Quote: ‘I couldn't control my drinking. It got to the point where I had to make the decision that I needed to go to a treatment clinic. I told my agent not to contact any clubs. I didn't do it for the sake of football. I did it to get my life back,’ the footballer said.
To recap: Tyson Fury's wife did not want her husband to box with Usyk. The reason was to focus on making sure he didn't go downhill after his defeat.
