Oleksandr Usyk, WBO, WBA, IBF world heavyweight champion, explained why he does not leave Ukraine.

"This is my home. My house. I cannot leave. I mean, I can, I have the opportunity to leave and live in any country in the world, but this is my home. How will I look my children in the eyes when they grow up and ask: “Where were you when there was a war? Have you been to Ukraine or have you always returned to Ukraine?” What will I tell them if I was not there. I am not afraid to die. I am a believer. I know that there is no death, then there is eternal life...,” said the boxer.
