Oleksandr Usyk revealed which of his opponents he hated
Boxing star Oleksandr Usyk has opened up about the only opponent who ever stirred up negative emotions in him. He shared his thoughts in an interview with DAZN.
Usyk has always spoken highly of his opponents. However, there is one fighter he admitted he genuinely dislikes. The main irritant for the Ukrainian is Marco Huck, his rival whom Usyk faced back in 2017, when he was still competing in the cruiserweight division.
"Only one of my opponents I don't love. It's Marco Huck. (He's a) bad guy, because this man says bad words (about) my mama. It's bad," Usyk confessed.
It's worth noting that Oleksandr managed to silence Huck by defeating him over ten rounds in the semi-finals of the World Boxing Super Series. With this victory, the Ukrainian retained his WBO cruiserweight world title.
Recall that on July 19, Usyk is set to face Daniel Dubois in a bout for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world.
