Our compatriot acted rashly

After his victory over Tyson Fury, the absolute heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk crossed himself and then hung a cross around his neck. Since the fight took place in Riyadh, the Ukrainian boxer could have had serious problems afterwards.

Everything related to Christianity is banned in Saudi Arabia: churches, rituals, schools. 99% of citizens profess Islam. Conversion from Islam to Christianity is even punishable by death.

Only foreigners are granted a small exemption, but even here the authorities are very reluctant to make concessions.

Last August, Al Nasr's Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo was nearly arrested for crossing himself in the Arabian Champions League semifinals against Al-Shorta.

The 38-year-old Portuguese captain scored the only and winning goal from the penalty spot, and then made this Christian gesture on emotion.
