Klitschko and Shevchenko were caught on camera after Usyk's victory over Fury. Video

After his victory over Tyson Fury, his famous countrymen, Wladimir Klitschko and Andrii Shevchenko, came up to congratulate Oleksandr Usyk. The video captured small dialogues between the superstars of the world and Ukrainian sports.

"I am proud of you! Thank you for this victory. For this important victory. It is important for you, and even more important for our country. Thank you. Champ!" said Wladimir Klitschko.

When Usyk began to hug Andrii Shevchenko, Oleksandr immediately warned him to do so carefully because of his injured jaw. "I understand, I understand," Shevchenko replied.

Yaroslava Hres also came to congratulate the absolute heavyweight champion.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, on May 18 in Riyadh, Usyk defeated British WBC titleholder Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) and became the first-ever absolute champion in the super heavyweight division in the four-belt era.

At the moment when ring announcer Michael Buffer shouted "From Ukraine!" in English when announcing the winner, Usyk's legs gave out from excitement.

Oleksandr is the third-ever absolute champion in two weight categories. Before that, he held all the titles in cruiserweight.

Later, Usyk showed what his face looked like after 111 missed punches to the head from Fury. Sasha came to the press conference late due to a doctor's appointment.

The next day it became known that Oleksandr would only remain the absolute champion until June 1, 2024. The International Boxing Federation (IBF) will take away the belt because the mandatory title defense against Filip Hrgovic is overdue.

Later it became known that the judge used a little-known rule in the Usyk-Fury fight.

On May 20, Usyk was suspended from boxing and will not be able to hold any training or fights in the next month and a half. The video that the Ukrainian champion recorded for the whole country showed numerous bruises and bruises on his face.
