Ukrainian freestyle wrestler Bogdan Hrytsai spoke about the reasons that led him to challenge boxer Alexander Usyk to fight without rules.

Gritsay said this in an interview with glavcom.ua.

The last straw was the video in which Alexander addressed direct threats to ordinary Ukrainians, showing disdain for all of our people. This is unacceptable. He could not bear it because he had not seen this before for a professional athlete to intimidate ordinary people. “

Therefore, I decided to offer Usyk out of the cage. I never fought there, just like Alexander didn’t. He offered him the same conditions. Let him show what he is capable of and not intimidating, “Gritsai said.

“I understand that the probability that he will accept the challenge is slim. But I showed that there are Ukrainians who can fight him. Let him be ready for this. Stop keeping quiet and listen to the insults directed at our country and at us, as its citizens.” added the fighter.

Gritsai stated that he was ready to be condemned by the sports community:

“I am ready to hear unpleasant things directed at me. I know the opinions of these people and it is unlikely that they will surprise me with anything. Now my friends and acquaintances call me and write to me. They support me. There are famous athletes among them, but let them express their position”. I can say that he was one of the first to call and praise the Hero of Ukraine, Yuriy Shukhevych. It was very nice because I respect this person a lot. “

Recall that Usik previously recorded a video in which he threatened the “sofa experts” with a coup de grace.

UNIAN also reported that former world champion Alina Shaternikova defended Alexander Usik and Vasily Lomachenko after the boxers were added to the Peacemaker base.
