Olimpiyskiy Awaits: Usyk's Dream Fight in Kyiv's Heart!

WBO, WBA, IBF, and IBO heavyweight champ Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) set his sights on hosting a bout in Kyiv post-conflict. "Right now, it's off the table – we're in war. But once we triumph, I'm set on staging a match at the Olimpiyskiy in Kyiv. It's all to thrill the home crowd and every Ukrainian who packs the stadium. 

This is more than just a fight for me. It's a salute to our defenders. Chatting with them, seeing their grins and the fire in their eyes as they roar, 'Victory!' – that's what fuels me. When I'm in the ring, it's not just me winning; it's a win for the entire nation cheering me on," says Usyk.

Usyk's next ring dance is slated against Tyson Fury, though the date's still in the air.
