The reigning heavyweight champion and former undisputed cruiserweight champion, Oleksandr Usyk, proudly represents Ukraine. From appearing as a Cossack warrior to transforming into the Joker, Usyk excels not just as a dominant force in boxing but also as a true showman.

The king of heavyweight boxing is back. On December 21, Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk will enter the ring for a rematch against UK’s Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia. In their earlier clash, Usyk handed Fury his first-ever defeat.

‘Slava Ukraini’ is the name of a young horse showing potential on the international racing scene. One of his owners, Jakob, and his wife Maria, have used the horse’s winnings to build a bomb shelter in a Lviv apartment block struck by a Russian missile that left 10 people dead. Born with health issues that many thought would prevent him from competing, ‘Slava Ukraini’ has defied the odds and proven his resilience, much like Ukraine in its fight against its neighbor.
