Usyk arrived at the press conference before the fight with Dubois dressed as Hetman Skoropadsky

According to glavcom.ua: Oleksandr Usyk, the world heavyweight boxing champion, surprised everyone at the press conference before his upcoming bout with Daniel Dubois by appearing in the guise of Hetman Pavlo Skoropadsky. This was reported by the 'Glavkom' portal.

In the fight with Dubois, scheduled for July 19 in London, Usyk aims to reclaim the IBF title, which was taken from him by Tyson Fury. All four major heavyweight belts will be at stake in this matchup: the Ukrainian boxer holds the WBA, WBO, and WBC titles, while Dubois owns the IBF belt.

The GiveMeSport portal published a ranking of the richest boxers of all time, where Oleksandr Usyk ranked sixth. The leader of this list is former world boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, who has a net worth of 400 million dollars. Usyk himself has stated that he wants to develop sports in Ukraine and abroad, although he is not interested in politics.

They constantly offer me to go into politics. I am not ready for that. I don't see myself as a Ukrainian politician at all. I have a career; I plan to be in big sports for at least another 40 years. Two years in boxing? God willing, yes. I want to be there. I have many projects that we are currently working on - the development of sports, not only boxing, but on a broader scale.

Oleksandr Usyk plans to win the IBF title in a rematch against Daniel Dubois while already holding three other major belts. He also reaffirmed his undeveloped political stance, and in Ukrainian boxing, he has many ambitious sports projects.
