Usyk, who is still unbeaten, upheld his reputation as the sporting pride of Ukraine by defeating Anthony Joshua in a hard-fought rematch on Saturday to retain his WBA, WBO, and IBF belts at the King Abdullah Sport City venue.
Through a translator, Usyk, 35, said, “I dedicate my triumph to my country, to my family, to my squad, and to all the military defending this country.” I’m extremely, very grateful.
