Zelenskyy posted a joint photo with Usyk, captioning it with four words

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) and posted a photo of them on social media. The photo was captioned briefly and succinctly: "Welcome home, champion. We are proud!"

The photo was taken in the President's office, against the backdrop of the Ukrainian flag and state symbols. In the picture, Usyk, dressed in a light sweater and beige pants, stands next to the president with a smile.

In the comments to the post, users actively expressed their admiration for the boxer. Among them was Olympic champion and MP Zhan Beleniuk, who wrote: "The pride of Ukraine!".

As OBOZ.UA reported, on Independence Day, Usyk presented Zelenskyy with the WBC champion's belt. Oleksandr won this belt on May 19, defeating Fury by split decision – 114:113, 113:114, 115:112.

We would like to remind you that on the night of Sunday, December 22, Oleksandr Usyk defeated Tyson Fury for the second time and defended his titles. The seventh fight of the Ukrainian in the super-heavyweight division ended with a victory on points 116:112, 116:112, 116:112.

When the Ukrainian was announced the winner, Fury's wife's reaction was caught on camera. In addition, the fight was featured in a famous cartoon. And in Russia, they started spreading fake words about Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The Ukrainian was suspended from boxing.

A few days later, the video of the fight was blocked following a complaint from the European Football Union (UEFA), which claimed that it violated copyright law.

In addition, there are theories as to why Usyk wore an upside-down Ukrainian flag in his rematch with Fury.

It should be noted that immediately after the fight, a video appeared of what Fury wrote on the flag of Ukraine after his defeat by Usyk.
