How Usyk looked like 20 years ago when he was 17. Rare video
Oleksandr Usyk, the unified heavyweight champion of the world, has been on his way to becoming a true boxing legend for a long time. The native of Simferopol, Crimea, started boxing quite late, at the age of 15, but he convinced his coach, Sergey Lapin Sr.
On its page on the social network TikTok, the publication "Ukraine Magazine" showed a video of how Usyk looked like at the age of 17. The 2004 footage was shot after Oleksandr took part in a tournament in which he won three victories, two of which were early.
Back then, the novice boxer took first place and was also especially recognized for his high technique, which became his specialty in the professional ring.
"I boxed the second fight, they were screaming. I reached the final. And now people came to the final fights. I don't know what I did to enthuse them, but they were also shouting: "Come on! Come on, Sasha! Crimea!" Usyk shared his emotions.
