Reading Time: 2 minutes
Lisbon’s streets set the pace for Season 2 of GR8 Tech’s Bet It Drives—the drive-time podcast where iGaming’s sharpest voices speak freely, in motion. Hosted by Yevhen Krazhan, Chief Sales Officer at GR8 Tech, Episode 3 spotlights Kyrylo Korobka, Executive Director at Ready to Fight by Oleksandr Usyk, for a candid ride through the intersection of boxing, technology, and business execution.
Korobka leads operations at RTF, the ecosystem co-founded by the heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk on a mission to digitize boxing. Before, he had a career in international corporations and held a CMO role within a major crypto project. He has helped steer large-scale events and partnerships, including the Usyk vs. Dubois blockbuster, while advancing new tech initiatives like a cross-border payments solution and federation partnerships for the next generation of fighters.
During the ride, Kyrylo opens up about:
- His role as Executive Director of Ready to Fight
- Co-organizing a major fight for Oleksandr Usyk and overseeing broadcast, marketing, and operations
- Partnering with boxing federations and the mission to digitize boxing for the next generation
- His path from international corporations and a crypto CMO role into sports business
- Why his day-to-day is more “business” than “sport”
- What it’s like working with a superstar like Usyk and meeting other legendary athletes
- A standout partnership: Queensberry Promotions (founded by Frank Warren)
- How his view of iGaming evolved beyond “just casino”
- Learning from setbacks: treating failures as lessons and not repeating mistakes.
- His #1 “champion rule”: discipline and consistency at every stage.
“Boxing at the elite level is discipline, preparation, and execution—exactly how winning platforms are built,” said Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech and host of Bet It Drives. “Kyrylo shows how Ready to Fight thinks like a tech company: digitize the sport, empower the community, and move fast with the right partners. That’s the GR8 way: performance first, innovation always.”

As RTF’s exclusive Partner in Tech, GR8 Tech brings a scalable, high-performance sportsbook and iGaming platform, top event coverage, smart margin management, and a geo-specific approach, while RTF channels champion-level vision to digitize boxing for fighters and fans.
