Oleksandr Usyk names Man United legend 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 Man United legend Wayne Rooney as one of his most favourite football players ever:

"Of the Ukrainian footballers, 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."
