Absolute boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk believes that it will not bring any benefit if he starts engaging in politics. He reminded during a conversation with journalists that he is building a boxing career, reports UNN.
How will my influence help if I become a politician or a mayor, how will it help me? If some old man meets me, he will say: "Son, I rooted for you, and now here you go" - and he will punch me in the face
The champion added that, in his opinion, only those who want to "steal" go into politics. He, on the other hand, is happy with everything he has.
Why should I go there? I have a career, after all. Those who want to "steal" should go there. I don't want to "steal". I have, thank God, I have earned, I want to save mine and multiply it for someone else
