WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk spoke about his desire to bring the titles to his motherland - Crimea.

"Will the belts go to the Crimea? Of course. I want to see my coach, my cousins, my sister. To go to my home gym. To thank my coach for bringing me to this level. Taught me how to box, how to defend myself, how to think. He made a man out of a boy", Usyk said at a news conference.

On the night of September 25 Usyk defeated Anthony Joshua by unanimous decision.
