Katerina Bivol, the ex-wife of Russian boxer Dmitry Bivol, does not hide her admiration for the relationship between Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk and his wife. She recently admitted on social media that she considers them a wonderful couple, emphasizing the strength that the support of his wife adds to the boxer during fights.
“A beautiful couple! I cry when Sasha kisses his woman in the ring. A wife should always be at the fights, that’s right, not like it was with us! I think that’s their huge strength. That’s why he is the best boxer in the world. He is simply unbeatable with his Katya!”
Katerina also did not overlook Usyk’s talent, expressing her impression of his fights without opponents. It is worth noting that Katerina divorced Dmitry Bivol under not very pleasant circumstances, but she found frankly positive words for her rival.
The beginning of the romance between Oleksandr Usyk and Kateryna
Katerina and Oleksandr met in school in Simferopol when the future boxer was 15 years old and Katerina was almost 14. Initially, their connection was purely friendly, but over time they became closer. Usyk even bought Katerina a rose with his last money and asked her out, to which she accepted his proposal.
Katerina Bivol's comments reveal additional aspects of the personal life of the famous Ukrainian athlete and underscore the importance of support and family values for success in sports.
