"I have a contract!" Usyk answered the question of what he will do after the victory over Fury

The unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) will retire after beating Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs). At the same time, the 36-year-old boxer is not going to retire from the sport, but intends to continue playing on the football field.

He said this in an interview with the ES News YouTube channel during the annual congress of the World Boxing Council (WBC), whose belt is owned by the British rival. Our compatriot reminded reporters that he has a valid contract with a Premier League club.

"Fury? I will win, become the absolute world champion and go play football. I have a signed contract with a Ukrainian Premier League team. "Polissia! Number one!" Usyk replied emotionally.

Earlier, the media announced the date of the Usyk-Fury fight, which was scheduled for December 23. Journalists also stated that the British boxer was threatened with a $240 million lawsuit if he refused to enter the ring with Oleksandr by the end of the year.

The Ukrainian himself admitted how the postponement of the fight affected him. Our boxer also made a number of compliments to his British opponent.
