Krassyuk said: "We got the official permission, he left military, but his mindset remains the same.
"He is the champion within his soul, and in his heart he's the winner."
He knows that he is a professional and has to work hard. The most difficult part of his job is the training camp.
"We have already settled his training camp, where he has begun to work hard and has been able to overcome the psychological stress that all Ukrainians have experienced recently.

"That will lead to the result every Ukrainian wants.

"This time, he's not fighting for the title, but he is fighting to win for the entire country, for the people.
Krassyuk would like to see Fury and Usyk face off again, but it won't be easy, even if Joshua beats Usyk.
He said, "Fighting Fury offers an opportunity for all of humanity."
To see the fight for undisputed world heavyweight champion as soon as possible.
"But there are many obstacles. We have Usyk's obligation to fight AJ - which he does.
"We would have to satisfy Usyk and Fury with the right money.
