Oleksandr Usyk Gifts Boxer $100,000: Why Did He Do It?

Oleksandr Usyk rewarded fellow Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Khyzhniak with a generous sum of $100,000. The undisputed champion presented the Olympic champion with this substantial prize.

Details: A video shared on Instagram revealed that Usyk kept a promise he made before the 2024 Olympics. At the time, Usyk pledged to award bonuses to Ukrainian boxers who win medals at the Games. Oleksandr Khyzhniak became an Olympic champion in middleweight boxing.

The money was transferred to the champion’s personalized card, issued through the Ready To Pay payment service, a collaboration between Usyk’s team and Kauri Finance.

In addition, Usyk has promised rewards to all future gold medalists of the Los Angeles Olympics. His key message is clear: "Engage in sports, train, and work hard."

Reminder: Oleksandr Usyk is set to face Tyson Fury in a much-anticipated rematch on December 21 in Saudi Arabia. Recently, the WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion addressed former WBC champion Tyson Fury ahead of their bout.
