Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk confirmed that he will put his heavyweight belts on the line against Britain’s Daniel Dubois in July, and ahead of his next fight he was interviewed by Piers Morgan, where he took the opportunity to send a heartfelt message to United States President Donald Trump about the war.
The undisputed world heavyweight champion asked Donald Trump to stop the war in Ukraine: “What Russia is doing, everyone knows it’s bullshit.”
The full interview with Usyk on ‘Piers Morgan Uncensored’ will be broadcast in full later this week on the show’s YouTube channel.

“President Trump, please open your eyes,” Usyk said in the interview with Piers Morgan, in a strong message to Trump for the United States to end the three-year war.
