Anthony Joshua’s Conqueror,  Oleksandr Usyk, Joins The Ukraine – Russia War!

Oleksandr Usyk has enlisted with the Kyiv Territorial Defence after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Isyk has enlisted with the Kyiv Territorial Defence in a heroic bid to protect his homeland after Russia launched its devastating invasion, with the heavyweight even pictured toting a large machine gun.

Both Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko have also joined the military to face up to the Russian forces, with the latter having served as the major of the country’s capital Kyiv since 2014 and made an appeal for other nations to help stop the bloodshed.

They have now been joined by Usyk who, before heading back to Ukraine, was negotiating with Anthony Joshua  after stripping away his titles last year. That rematch may even be placed on hold due to the crisis in eastern Europe. 

This morning, a Twitter  account created to provide updates on the conflict, shared a picture showing Usyk alongside three other soldiers. The boxer was even dressed up in full military gear and was clutching a large gun while looking into the camera. 

‘Oleksandr Usyk also enrolled in the SAR,’ the post said.
