After flashing the watch to the camera, Usyk quickly admitted to the inauthenticity of his accessory. 'I was boasting a little and showed the cameraman my watch,' he said, laughing. 'It's a Chinese Rolex. 'I was in Turkey for training and saw guys selling Rolexes on the beach,' Usyk continued. 'I thought if I bought one, no one would guess that it was a fake. So I bought it for $100.'.
As he pointed out, nobody questioned if the watch was fake considering the substantial amount the Ukrainian fighter has earned throughout his career. 😂⌚️ Oleksandr Usyk admits wearing a chinese copy of Rolex that he bought for $100 in Turkey. pic.twitter.com/mUdO9t0Asa.
