WBA, WBA, WBO, WBC and IBO heavyweight champion Oleksander Usyk said on his social media that he will come to the 2024 Olympic Games in France with a special mission:

“We are going to the Olympics! I remember my journey there 12 years ago, targeting gold.

I remember the emotions well - a combination of fear and determination, the desire to win. Now I want to support the members of the Ukrainian national team who are experiencing these feelings.

It is hard to accept that this Olympics may be the last one to host boxing events.

This loss would be devastating to our sport as new talent is emerging in amateur boxing. I believe Olympic gold is the pinnacle of achievement for any athlete.

That's why my Ready To Fight team and I are dedicating time in Paris to find ways to help. We are committed to preserving Olympic boxing for future generations, ensuring it remains fair, transparent and truly Olympic,” Usyk said.

In April, the IOC said the committee must have a partner international boxing federation to keep boxing on the Olympic program. Tentatively, there will be no boxing tournament at the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.

Earlier Usyk told, with whom of the British he had the hardest and easiest fight.
