Russian attack on Ukraine continues for 119 days
World Heavyweight Champion Alexander Tendril denied that the Russian invasion of Ukraine motivated him ahead of his second fight with Anthony Joshua.
“My friends and people close to me died in the war [с Россией]. When so many people suffer, I can’t imagine how this can have a positive effect on anything, ”said the Ukrainian.
“I was there for a month and saw with my own eyes what was happening. Missiles and warplanes were flying. This is terrible”.
After the start of the Russian invasion, the boxer joined the Kyiv territorial defense forces, after which he left Ukraine for a rematch with Joshua.
In April, Usyk opened his own fund to help the defenders of Ukraine and the victims of the war.
On August 20, the Ukrainian will make the first defense of four heavyweight championship titles in a duel with Joshua. The fight will take place in Saudi Arabia and will be streamed on the DAZN platform.
The full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine continues for the 119th day.
