Oleksandr Usyk’s Epic Victory: Lomachenko Congratulates Ukrainian Champion on Historic Triumph
A thrilling event in the world of professional boxing once again highlighted the greatness of Ukrainian sports and the resilience of our boxers. The renowned former world boxing champion Vasyl Lomachenko sincerely congratulated his compatriot Oleksandr Usyk on his significant victory over British boxer Daniel Dmytro Dybua, which culminated a long-awaited fight in the heavyweight division. The boxing evening took place at the legendary Wembley Stadium in London, where Usyk achieved a knockout in the fifth round, defending his prestigious titles and attaining the status of the absolute world champion. This marked the third time in his career that the Ukrainian athlete became the undisputed champion of the world, and the second in the heavyweight division. Lomachenko, who has already retired from professional boxing, shared in a Facebook post: “The machine. Congratulations! Consistency is a sign of mastery. The best!” The match photos and legendary athletes’ images, published in The Ring magazine, emphasized Usyk’s high level of preparation and Lomachenko’s pride for his fellow Ukrainian boxer. The fight's stakes included not only WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBO titles for Usyk but also the IBF title held by Dmytro Dybua. This triumph was unique because Usyk became a three-time undisputed world champion, having previously achieved this twice in the super heavyweight category. Following his victory, Usyk expressed gratitude to Ukraine’s Armed Forces and hinted at potential future opponents who could continue his ascent to the top. This victory reaffirmed Ukrainian athletes' reputation as strong and indomitable fighters under any circumstances.
