Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Krasyuk’s promoter shared Usyk’s plans for the future after the fight. According to the functionary, Oleksandr will return to Ukraine immediately.
“I think, if not on August 21, then on August 22, he will be at home. Usyk himself recalled several times that he already missed his homeland.”
