WBA, WBO, IBF, and WBC heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) looked for his wife Kateryna immediately after his victory over Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs). When he saw the woman near the ring, the Ukrainian immediately interrupted the interview he was giving to a British TV channel and rushed to her.
Sasha and Katya stood hugging for a few seconds, after which they exchanged a few words, confessing their love for each other once again. The short impromptu date ended when our boxer took off his Cossack hat with a feather and bowed to his wife. Catherine smiled back.
