The famous British heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua, who miraculously survived a terrible accident in Nigeria, did not hide his admiration after visiting Ukraine at the invitation of Oleksandr Usyk.

“Ukraine, I had a great time. Thank you for the warm welcome and hospitality. Oleksandr Usyk and RTF Fight, thank you for the invitation. See you next time,” the Olympic champion wrote on his Instagram page, and also showed the T-shirt that was presented to him during the visit. In addition, the Briton will take home a knife from the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which Usyk gave him.
During his trip to Ukraine, AJ not only attended a boxing evening and witnessed the debut victory at the professional ring of Olympic champion Oleksandr Khyzhnyak, but also, in the company of Oleksandr Usyk, visited Maidan Nezalezhnosti, where boxers immortalized the memory of Ukrainian soldiers who died in the war with Russia.

In addition, Anthony and Alexander visited a church in Ukraine. According to Boxing King Media, they talked with a priest and prayed for the Briton's friends, Lats and Cena, who died in a car accident in Africa.
The Briton also practiced his Ukrainian. It seems he learned at least a few words in “nightingale”.

By the way, Olympic champion in Greco-Roman wrestling Jean Beleniuk boasted on social media about Joshua's boxing gloves with a gift inscription, which Anthony gave to his mother.
“Once, 9 years ago, when the fight between Wladimir Klitschko and Anthony Joshua was held at Wembley, we watched it with my mother,” the MP wrote on social networks. “Then, of course, we sat down to cheer for Wladimir, but the confrontation was so spectacular and competitive that I still consider it the best for both Joshua and Klitschko.”
After the Briton's victory, his mother said: “It's a pity for Vladimir, but this giant is so stocky and handsome, I will keep an eye on him, he is handsome.”
