Wasilewski stood up for Usyk

Polish promoter Andrzej Wasilewski reacted angrily to the situation with the detention of former world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk at the Krakow airport. The boxing manager called the situation a worldwide disgrace for his country and expressed confidence that law enforcement officers had no need to handcuff our athlete.

Wasilewski wrote about this on his page on the social network X, formerly known as Twitter. According to him, Usyk was completely sober with properly executed documents, and there was no reason to detain him. He also noted that the Ukrainian showed incredible respect for Polish border guards.

"Our services at the airport did not want to let his friends on the plane for no reason. Usyk refused to get on the plane and was detained. What a shame! As it turned out, it was completely unnecessary and wrong to detain and handcuff Usyk. It is very good that the champion is downplaying this topic in the media. I would like to know who ordered the handcuffing and why, even for such a short time, as if he were an ordinary criminal at Balice airport. It's a terrible shame for the whole world!" said Wasilewski.

The Ukrainians were told that they were not in a good condition to fly. The boxer himself later addressed the fans.
