The Ukrainian will not stay abroad.
Ukrainian heavyweight champion WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO Alexander Usik announced that he will return to Ukraine after the rematch against Anthony Josh.
“I am not interested in other things right now – a belt or anything other than helping Ukraine. I will do my best to train and do everything possible to support my people as they support me. Ukraine will win. After the fight I will definitely return to Ukraine, “Usik said.
We will remind, on September 25 last year Usik defeated Joshua by the unanimous decision of judges and took away from the Briton all his titles.
Usik returned to Ukraine and joined the territorial defense after the start of Russia's military invasion.
It later became known that Usik had left Ukraine to prepare for revenge against the British.
