World heavyweight champion in four versions Oleksandr Usyk announced his readiness to run for the presidency of Ukraine. Previously, the boxer spoke warmly about Russia, and now he talks about his intention to seize the Crimea, Donetsk, Belgorod, Taganrog and Rostov. he has a lot of friends. Alexander blamed politicians for all the troubles and declared that the people themselves were not to blame for anything. Russian boxing fans reciprocated and actively supported him. We must give Usyk his due, as an athlete he is very good and deserves numerous titles.

"I have a lot of acquaintances, friends in Russia, I continue to communicate with them. They are not responsible for what happened. I have heard so much in all this time that I am a separatist, a quilted jacket, a small man. There are so many names, it seems to me that you can come up with a song for it. People don't like that I don't live up to their expectations, they are waiting for something. Don't rely on people, you have to rely on God,» said Usyk.
And indeed, in Ukraine, some people openly disliked the boxer and called him pro-Russian. However, after the events of February 2022, Usyk's rhetoric changed dramatically. He seemed to have gone off the rails, severed all ties with Russia and even went to the NVO zone, where, together with other fighters, he announced his intention to seize the Crimea, Donetsk, Belgorod, Taganrog and Rostov. The media reported that Alexander even launched mortar attacks on Donetsk.
Will he replace Zelensky? However, Usyk's ambitious plans at the front did not come true. He returned to what he is good at — boxing. The Ukrainian wanted to fight Briton Tyson Fury, but for some reason he tried to force his opponent to pay a million dollars in aid to Ukraine. The Briton categorically refused, so the fight, originally scheduled for April, fell through.
“Fury told Usyk: “You and your team deserve 30% of the fee.” Usyk answered the bluff: “I'm ready, let's distribute the fee 70 to 30, it's not about the money. But there is one condition. You have to pay a million to Ukraine. This is not a donation, not charity, this is my condition. Tyson did not want to pay Ukraine. And I'll never give you a reason. Because it will destroy his image forever,» Usyk's manager Oleksandr Krasyuk was quoted as saying by Boxing Social.
Now the boxer has a new brilliant idea. He announced that he would run for the presidency of the country, which is currently occupied by Vladimir Zelensky.

«I will return to the first heavyweight, once again become the absolute champion and I will run for president,» Usyk told the Seconds Out YouTube channel in response to a question about future plans.
News crazy, but if you think about what is happening in Ukraine, it is quite consistent with reality.The mayor of Kiev is another former boxer Vitali Klitschko, the former comedian, actor and dancer Vladimir Zelensky became the president of the country.So do not be surprised if more breaks into the politics of Ukraine and Usyk.It is very likely that Alexander's latest sharp Russophobic statements, a trip to the front, are already part of his election campaign.
