Usyk arrives in Ukraine as a hero (photo + video)

The first finalist of the World Boxing Super Series and the owner of two titles in the cruiserweight division Oleksandr Usyk arrived in Ukraine after Saturday's fight in Riga, in which he beat by majority decision the previously undefeated local Mairis Briedis.

"All is well. The second championship belt is with us, and we brought it home. I think a couple of days will pass, all the hype will settle down, and we'll talk about the fight, and I'll sit and watch the fight, write down the mistakes on paper and we'll be working on them. As far as I understand, there is already the date of the final. Like, on May 11th. It's good that it is already known - it will be easier for us to build a training camp," said Usyk on arrival.
