Ukrainian boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk visited wounded National Guard soldiers receiving treatment at one of the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ medical centers.
According to Ukrinform, the Ministry reported the visit on Facebook.
Usyk spoke with the soldiers, thanked them for their courage, and wished them a speedy recovery.
“What you have done and continue to do is invaluable. Each of you is a true hero. I wish you a speedy recovery, because Ukraine needs strong and unbreakable people,” Usyk said.
He also emphasized that victories on the battlefield and in sports share a common foundation: strength of spirit, self-confidence, and love for one’s homeland.
As previously reported by Ukrinform, on July 19, Usyk—holder of the WBO, WBA, WBC, and IBO titles—won a rematch against IBF heavyweight world champion Daniel Dubois.
