Ukrainian heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk was detained at Krakow Airport, prompting an immediate response from President Volodymyr Zelensky, who expressed outrage over the incident. Zelensky instructed Ukrainian officials to investigate the circumstances surrounding Usyk's detention, which was described as a 'misunderstanding' by both Usyk and his promoter. Following the intervention of Ukrainian diplomats, Usyk was released, and he expressed gratitude for the support he received. The boxer is expected to appear at a fan event in London ahead of Anthony Joshua's title fight against Daniel Dubois and is preparing for a rematch with Tyson Fury scheduled for December. Despite the alarm caused by his detention, Usyk confirmed that there was no criminal issue at hand. The exact reasons for the initial detention remain unclear.
