In the past, the head coach of the current unified heavyweight champion (over 90.7 kg) Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) James Ali Bashir
commentedl the scandalous statement of the former heavyweight champion (up to 90.7 kg) from Britain, and now Sky channel boxing analyst Johnny Nelson.
Recall that in a recent interview for local media, Nelson said that Usyk is a left-handed middle peasant. Nelson’s words have already been commented on by British ex-champion in two divisions David Haye.
Johnny Nelson made an interesting comment. He said that Oleksandr Usyk is just an average left-hander. What do you think about this?
– Not. No. Not [показывает негативный жест указательным пальцем]. No Johnny. Johnny is wrong. Call him and tell him he’s wrong. Usyk is not a left-handed middle peasant. He is a magical lefty. You’ve seen enough already, right? He is here and there, and then – he is behind you. No. Oleksandr Usyk is anyone, but not a left-handed middle peasant.
— Okay, but that’s what Johnny Nelson said. He thinks he’s left-handed, middle peasant, nothing special. Joshua made him look special.
No, not Joshua. Other. All the guys he beat to become the undisputed cruiserweight champion also made him look special. I worked with him for 3 years. I tried to tell, but no one listened. The mustache is special. He is a special boxer. He has a special mind.
