Oleksandr Usyk prepared for his fight against Daniel Dubois in London, signaling his goal to become a three-time undisputed world champion. He remains the WBA, WBC, and WBO champion, though he vacated the IBF title after a previous victory. Usyk's role transcends boxing; he embodies the spirit of Ukraine. He unveiled a replica mosaic symbolizing the destruction caused by Russia and the nation's resilience, announcing plans to help rebuild with donations, including initial support from Richard Branson for housing projects.
Usyk held three fingers on his right hand high in the air to signify his intention to become a three-time undisputed world champion, underlining his determination to defeat Dubois on Saturday night.
Usyk's arrival in London was a reminder of the significant role he plays in Ukraine, carrying the gravitas of a Ukrainian statesman amid his boxing career.
In Trafalgar Square, Usyk unveiled a replica of a mosaic created by Alla Horska that symbolizes resilience, stating, 'We will rebuild our country, like a mosaic, piece by piece.'
Richard Branson stood next to Usyk, confirming he had become the first donor to help the Usyk Foundation raise 2.5m to build new apartments for those affected.
