Former world heavyweight champion, current mayor of Kyiv Vitali Klitschko commented on the victory of Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) in a rematch over Briton Anthony Joshua (24-2, 23 KOs), which took place on the night of August 21 in Saudi Arabia .
Recall that Usyk again defeated Joshua on points, but this time by a separate decision of the judges.
“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!” Klitschko wrote on the social network.
Usyk was also congratulated by the President of Ukraine. And Alexander himself at the post-match press conference spoke about Putin.
