Comments Thread For: Usyk vs. Gassiev - Russia Making Big Play To Outbid Saudi Arabia

[boxing_pro]

From Wiki:

"Roughly one month after the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation Usyk declared (on 28 April 2014) he would never exchange his Ukrainian citizenship for a Russian one and that he considered Crimea a part of Ukraine.[58]

In 2016, answering to a question if he can still enter Crimea and his patriotic position, he stated that he can enter Crimea after each of his fight; that he doesn't like to talk politics due to the fact that people like to take words out of context, that in Russia he has many fans and that he doesn't divide "our peoples because we are Slavs"."

Thats another fake news. Usyk speaks russian, goes to russian church and never told that Crimea is either Russian or Ukrainian.

Moreover, ukranian news media started a war on Usyk in Ukraine because he is not saying that Crimea is Ukraine. The main TV channel in Ukraine is saying here that Usyk is a traitor. Here you go, you can see a video proof:

Lol, usyk is Ukrainian born in annexed by Russia territory.
There is actual war between Ukraine and Russia so this will be really ****** idea dor Usyk to agree fighting anywhere near that country.

another fake news. there is no war between russia and ukraine. no declaration of war was made from each other sides.

actually, russia is the biggest trading partner of ukraine and in 2017 russia was the biggest buyer of ukranian weapons.

Usyk was in Sochi that night and he had a lot of fan's attention and respect. stop spreading propaganda.

At the end of the day as Usyk said, they are all Slavs. Borders doesn't mean much, genetically they are the same (mostly)

No, Usyk is ethnic Ukrainian.

yeah, ethnic ukranian. but he speaks russian, born in russian city, goes to russian church.

give me a break! meybe he's ukranian deep in his heart but not in reality.

Please let this happen.

A dead Saudi atmosphere is not what this needs.It needs fans baying for blood.

Desperate much?

He always said that Crimea is Ukraine. Now he doesn't say it because he has family there, and property and we all know what FSB does to people on Crimea. Human rights violations in Crimea are rampant, any words like "Crimea is Ukraine" lands people on jail...so do you really think he will say something that could get his family in trouble?

The man is a Ukrainian patriot, comes out under the Ukrainian flag and signs the anthem loudly.

More than half the people fighting Russian forces in Donbas speak Russian, that makes them Russian right?

Back on the subject...Terrible idea if they hold the fight in Russia. They will buy the judges so no chance Usyk takes a decision, and they will pull every trick in the book to give Gassiev a win. They won't allow another Klitschko vs. Povetkin...not today.

If Usyk comes out winner, they'll say he was doping 3 days later.

coWard would never fight outside of oakland, he cant win without fighting dirty and not having reffs/judges on his side.

Those who say Gassiev would have a home-judging advantage in Russia should check out the scorecards from last weekend

Fight in Russia with 3 Russian judges and a Russian referee if I were Gassiev, he can learn a thing or two from the Americans
