According to Krassyuk, his cooperation with Usyk was an "incredible journey - 12 years of incredible success."
Two young dreamers met to change the game. In 2013, I gave you my word - and I kept it. Back then, no one believed we could achieve what we set out to do. But by the grace of God, we accomplished an impossible mission
He listed the milestones that "we overcame together":
- September 2016 – WBO light heavyweight champion;
- January 2018 – WBO and WBC light heavyweight champion;
- July 2018 – undisputed cruiserweight champion;
- September 2021 – WBO, WBA, and IBF heavyweight champion;
- May 2024 – undisputed heavyweight champion.
Dream fulfilled!!! Thank you for everything we've been through and for the honor of being a lifelong promoter of a two-time undisputed champion. May God bless you and guide your future steps
