Unable to fly: details of Usyk's arrest in Poland become known
Former world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk was denied boarding a plane at Krakow Airport after an airline representative deemed his condition unfit for flight. Since our compatriot categorically disagreed with this, he was detained by law enforcement officers.
This was reported by ESPN, citing its own sources. Usyk explained his condition by overwork, as he had spent almost 900 kilometers on the road in a car. Due to the language barrier and the boxer's unwavering position, an incident occurred between him and the airline representatives.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the release of Usyk.

Together with the athletes, his wife Kateryna and coach Serhii Lapin Jr. were traveling to Valencia, where the Ukrainian will hold his training camp before his rematch with Tyson Fury. As a result, after the intervention of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Usyk was released.
Lapin urged everyone not to worry about the situation with Usyk.
