United heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk has spoken out about the war in Ukraine.

"Ukraine is going through very difficult times right now. We are fighting for our freedom. We are fighting for our lives. Will we be free or will we all be destroyed. I believe in Ukraine so much that I don't think I believe in myself as much as I believe in my country. But I believe in myself too, in my victory.

In war, as in boxing, size is not very important. Skill and character matter a lot. Ukrainian soldiers just show skill and their character," - quotes Usik Mail Sport.
