Aleksandr Usyk

Ukrainian boxer Alexander Usik has fans all over the world. He trains hard to remain a winner. The desire for success has reached its climax: on May 11, 2018 Usyk will fight for the title of the absolute world champion in the first heavyweight division.

The history of the future athlete began on January 17, 1987 in Simferopol. There he went to secondary school number 34. In his youth he was fond of folk dances, judo and football. Alexander was a member of the youth team of the football team "Tavria", but the guy's football career did not go well.

He soon became interested in boxing. I came to my first lesson at the age of 15. Initially, Sergei Lapin became the mentor of young Sasha. He also trained his own son, who became the champion of Ukraine.

Alexander Usik recalled that at the first training session he got a lot. After that, he got angry and "hung" in the hall from three in the afternoon until seven in the evening. Familiar guys made fun of the young man, but "hanging" with a pear gave a result.

Alexander graduated from the Lviv State University of Physical Culture.

Serious successes in the career of a novice boxer hatched when the young man turned 19 years old. Then he first appeared in the Ukrainian championship. Usik emerged victorious from the debut fight, after which the young man was called to the national team.

In the team competition, Alexander was number two. He went to a competition in Italy, where he entered the ring instead of Denis Poyatsyk. Earlier Denis was injured and dropped out of the competition.

Alexander defeated an opponent who was superior in strength. So he got the chance to go to the 2008 Olympics. However, Sasha did not achieve prizes at the competitions in Beijing. In the same year, Anatoly Lomachenko became the fighter's mentor. Under the leadership of Anatoly, Alexander was defeated only once.

In 2011, Usik started at the world championship. Having snatched the lead from serious opponents, Alexander again got a chance to show himself at the Olympics. And then he did not disappoint. The boxer reached the finish line and defeated Clemente Russo. To celebrate, the young man danced a hopak right in the ring.

The Olympic victory was overshadowed by the sudden death of his father. Before the tragic event, the young boxer planned to move to professional boxing and fly to the United States, but could not leave his family. As a result, he began to successfully cooperate with the "Ukrainian Atamans".

In 2013, Alexander Usik retrained as a professional. The guy received offers from companies from different countries, but he chose the company of the Klitschko brothers and the company of Vladimir and Vitaly - K2 Promotions. James Ali Bashir was appointed as Sasha's coach. The mentor himself said that for the sake of cooperation with the young champion he is ready to move not only to Ukraine, but also to the moon.

In his debut battle from the company, Usyk defeated the Mexican champion Felipe Romero. The fight ended with a knockout. Further triumphs followed.

On October 4, 2014, Alexander confronted Daniel Brewer. In the 7th round, the enemy was defeated. Alexander Usik received the interim WBO Inter-Continental championship.

On December 13 of the same year, the guy defeated Dani Venter. And in the spring of 2015, the battle against Johnny Mueller was interrupted by a judge after he saw that Usyk had seriously injured Venter.

On December 12, 2015, Alexander Usik achieved a full-fledged intercontinental championship, leading in a duel with Pedro Rodriguez.

A year later - on September 17, 2016 - two strongest fighters clashed: Alexander Usik and Krzysztof Glovatsky. The grueling duel lasted 12 rounds. As a result, the judges unanimously gave the victory to the athlete from Ukraine. Alexander received the title of world leader in the first heavyweight division. This fight was the tenth for Sasha. As a result, he set a new record, breaking the success of Evander Holyfield, who at one time won the championship in the twelfth battle.

In the spring of 2017, Usyk fought with Michael Hunter. Alexander won this fight. He confirmed his title.

On September 9, 2017, Alexander was opposed by Marko Hook. In the 10th round, Usik knocked down a German fighter. Hook did not win the WBO world championship belt, and Sasha broke through to the semifinals of the World Boxing Super Series.

Alexander is familiar with his future wife from school. It was then that the couple's relationship began. The chosen one is Catherine. She studied in a parallel class of Sasha. After graduating from school, the young people came together, and in 2009 they legalized relations.

Katya gave her beloved man three children: sons Cyril and Misha and daughter Lisa. The athlete has repeatedly stated that he wants another son.

Alexander does not flaunt his personal life. The young man has an Instagram page where he shares photos from training and fights with subscribers. Usik rarely posts pictures with his wife and children.

The fighter has appeared in advertisements for MTS in his home country more than once.

In his free time he likes to watch football. Supports "Tavria".

On January 27, 2018, a fight took place between Alexander Usik and Mairis Briedis. The battle turned out to be interesting and lasted 12 rounds. As a result, the judges preferred Alexander with a slight advantage.

The boxer became the owner of two WBO and WBC championship belts and reached the final of the World Boxing Super Series.

Now the athlete is preparing for a fight for the title of the absolute world champion in the first heavyweight. Alexander Usik will have a meeting with the Russian invincible Murat Gassiev.

The nationality of the fighters is of particular interest to the battle. Russia against Ukraine at a similar level - not only the sports audience is intrigued. Bookmakers bet 70% on Usik's win. In addition, Alexander Usik is one of the top five most promising fighters on the planet.
