Kozhevnikov called Ukrainians "stupid" for refusing to show the fight between Usik and Joshua
ArahamilianFormer Soviet hockey player Alexander Kozhevnikov commented on the lack of broadcast of the fight between Alexander Usik and Anthony Joshua on Ukrainian television.
“Stupid people, it is clear that they have politics in the first place. Usyk himself is from Simferopol, has a good attitude towards Russia, has not got into politics. He is great, but because of this, his fight was not broadcast in Ukraine. And it's great that State Duma deputy Nikolai Valuev commented on the fight on Russian television. Let them only listen to him in Ukraine. There, people create problems for themselves, ”said Kozhevnikov in a conversation with SE correspondent Georgy Skoblikov.
Also, the Honored Master of Sports of the USSR shared his impressions of the victory of Alexander Usik over Anthony Joshua.
“I was sure that Usyk would win. Now he is our strongest boxer, it was evident. Joshua is heavy, he is physically larger, and his arms are longer, but Usyk has such a technique that no one else in the world has at the moment. He reminds me of Kostya Tszyu, both sharp boxers. Usyk chose the right tactics, it was pleasant to look at him, "Kozhevnikov added in an interview with SE.
The duel between Alexander Usik and Anthony Joshua was broadcast in Russia by the REN TV channel. One of the commentators was the deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Nikolai Valuev.
