Unified World Heavyweight Champion Oleksandr Usyk, following the ex-world champion Wladimir Klitschko, turned to the President of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach, who at the end of January suggested that Russian and Belarusian athletes could compete "under a neutral flag at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris."

“Mr. Bach, I want to turn around to you. I am a Ukrainian sportsman, Olympic champion of 2012 in rock and boxing and a champion of the world in a double vase, Oleksandr Usyk. Do you want to allow Russian athletes to take part in international events. The Russian army came to our land, driving in the civilian population, driving in the athletes, driving in the coaches, destroying the sports halls and sports halls. Russian athletes, as they will get hedges on international slogans, there will be blood, death and tears. I want you to have a peaceful sky, good health and joy, ”Usyk said.
