Unlike Vassil Lomachenko who said “no” to his game with Giorgos Campos for the world title, Usik decided to focus on boxing and his next fight with Anthony Joshua.
According to what the British media broadcast, o Ukrainian boxer having the OK from the Ukrainian government decided to leave the country and travel – most likely – to England to begin preparations for the fight with Joshua, next summer in which he will be called to defend the world champion belt which he had acquired in the previous months after his victory in the first fight with the British boxer.
We remind you that Usik was one of the first Ukrainian athletes to run in the country to help the Russian invasion. However, the Ukrainian political leadership, despite announcing a general mobilization, informed Usik and his brother-in-law Lomachenko that they could leave if they wished to prepare for their struggles. Usik with Joshua to retain the title of world heavyweight champion, and Lomachenko to claim from the Greek-Australian, Camposo, that of world champion in the “light” category.
According to the Ukrainian media, the political leadership considers that if Usik, who has no military knowledge, manages to defeat Joshua again and retain the title of world champion, he will raise the morale of his country and his compatriots. These are difficult times for the whole of Ukraine.
