Unified World Heavyweight Champion Alexander Usik said that after the inevitable victory of Ukraine over the Russian Federation, he plans to hold a fight in Kyiv.

“Now we cannot do this because there is a war going on in our country. But after our victory, I will definitely organize a fight at the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv in order to please my native audience and every Ukrainian who comes to the arena.

For me personally, there is a huge motivation and gratitude to those guys who defend our country. When I talk to them on the phone, I see their faces, I see their smiles, I see their emotions when they shout: “Yes, victory!” You know, when I box, my whole country wins, all those who support me,” Usyk said in an interview with Boxing on TNT Sports.

Let us remind you that on February 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Usik is scheduled to fight with WBC belt holder Tyson Fury.
