Usyk told how the fighting affected his father

WBO, WBA, and IBF world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KO), against the backdrop of a full-scale attack by the Russian Federation on Ukraine, he remembered his father, on whom the Afghan war left imprints for the rest of his life.

“I saw the consequences of the post-war situation and what happened to him with his father. He often had a headache, he had very high blood pressure. He had nightmares to the last, in which he called the names of his dead comrades.

Father never spoke about the experience of the war. Like, those inhuman things that happen in war are scary, and God forbid that this happens, for example, to you. So that you either go to war, or see the war, ”the Ukrainian said in an interview with AFP.
