"Like every Ukrainian, I don't dream — I want the war in our country to end as soon as possible. It's a horror that's happening in our home at the moment. When people are freezing... I want it all to end — I have no other dreams," Usyk admitted.
The last time Oleksandr stepped into the ring was in July last year in London. In a rematch against Daniel Dubois, Usyk confidently knocked out his opponent in the 5th round, reclaiming his status as the undisputed world heavyweight champion. Since then, he took a break due to a back injury, relinquished the WBO belt in favor of Fabio Wardley and is now, according to rumors, negotiating a fight with Andy Ruiz.
