Oleksandr Usyk names Chelsea ex-player as one of his most favourite players ever

Today, Ukrainian heavyweight boxer Oleksandr Usyk is fighting Tyson Fury for the title of undisputed heavyweight champion.

In his interview last year, Usyk named Chelsea ex-player and Ballon d'Or winner Andriy Shevchenko as one of his most favourite football players ever:

"The one I love most is Andriy Shevchenko. Generally speaking, when I watched football as a child, I really liked Batistuta. I also liked the way Rooney played. And in general, I sympathized with English football."

This is definitely not unexpected, as both Usyk and Shevchenko are Ukrainian.
