Tonight, after a triumphant victory, the WBA<\/strong>, WBO<\/strong>, IBF <\/strong>and IBO <\/strong>World Heavyweight Champion, boxer Oleksandr Usyk<\/strong>, returned to Ukraine from London<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was reported by UA<\/a> from the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He defeated world champion Anthony Joshua<\/strong> on Saturday in the British capital. The athlete was greeted by journalists, fellow boxers and fans with light panels in the colors of the Ukrainian flag at 2.00 AM<\/strong> at Terminal B of Boryspil <\/strong>Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the people who met the boxer was the former world champion in professional boxing, vice-president of the Professional Boxing League of Ukraine Alina Shaternikova<\/strong>. According to her, despite the bookmakers’ predictions in favor of Joshua, she did not doubt the victory of Oleksandr Usyk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClose people know how Oleksandr Usyk works<\/strong>, how much desire and perseverance he has. I believed in Oleksandr. A couple of weeks ago<\/strong> I wrote him a text message that he has everything to win. He responded and said \u2013 thank you so much for the words of support<\/strong>\u201d \u2013 Shaternikova said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victory over Joshua brought Oleksandr Usik the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO titles<\/strong>. Only one fight separates him from the title of absolute heavyweight champion – for the WBC belt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rematch <\/strong>between Usyk and Joshua is planned<\/strong>. Such a clause is listed in the contract for the battle in case of a Ukrainian victory. According to Oleksandr Usyk, he would like to hold a re-fight in Kyiv at the \u201cOlimpiyskiy<\/strong>\u201d National Sports Complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have thoughts: go home, get home faster, see my sons <\/strong>and daughter<\/strong>, who were very worried about me. You know, in one of the rounds, it seems to me, in the third, I hit him well in the chin. And the inner state is like this – \u201cI felt a little blood\u201d, and I went on. This round <\/strong>was very tense\u201d \u2013 the world champion shared his emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oleksandr Usyk became the third heavyweight <\/strong>champion among Ukrainians after brothers Vitali <\/strong>and Wladimir Klitschko<\/strong>. His champion belts will arrive in Kyiv in three weeks. They will be marked with the name of the boxer and the date of his fight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
