The legendary Ukrainian boxer congratulated Usyk on his victory
Mayor of Kyiv and former boxer Vitaliy Klichko commented on the victory of the WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) over ex-world champion Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs).
“Friends! Glory to Ukraine! Glory to her heroes! People glorifying Ukraine. We continue to prove that we can win – both in sports and on the battlefield. And we win.”
“Thanks to Oleksandr Usyk for winning such a difficult fight! Thank you Anthony Joshua for the dignity of a true athlete.”
“Ukraine is a strong state. We will defeat the Russian barbarians too! Glory to a free and worthy Ukraine.”
Immediately after the victory over Joshua Usyk, he challenged WBC champion Tyson Fury to a fight.
Following the results of all twelve rounds, Usyk defeated Joshua by a split decision: 115-113, 116-112 and 113-115.
The Ukrainian won the twentieth victory in the professional ring. For Joshua, the second loss to Usyk was the third in his career.
Recall that the first fight between Usyk and Joshua took place in the fall of 2021. Then the Ukrainian defeated the Briton by unanimous decision and became the WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion for the first time.
