“I'm not afraid anymore. Actually, I'll tell you this. Maybe, it’ll sound sentimental, or something. But my soul belongs to the Lord and my body and my honor belong to my country, to my family. So there is no fear, absolutely no fear. There’s just bafflement – how could this be in the 21st century,” he said.

You're just a troll, no doubt you simply get enjoyment from building your narrative just so u can put someone down from the comfort of your bedroom which you most likely never leave. The Ukrainian people are inspiring people and those that have grew up in modern day ukraine are free minded people who would prefer die than be ****** to the Russian police state. Jist look at the protests in maidan less than 10 years ago that will show you what these people are made of. Western people couldn't dream of having this type of courage, our cushy lives wouldn't allow it

Where were these heroes to defend the dignity of Ukraine during the last 7 years of foreign (non Ukrainian and non Orthodox Christian) occupancy? And CNN? Please understand the Western Atheist ******** have nothing but the deepest contempt for Slavs and Orthodox Christians. Only if they can be a useful weapon against Russia are they getting some air-time. The West supports an Israeli oligarchy that has looted Ukraine and left it a 4th world failed state.

These boxers, even though a week ago I basically idolized Loma and Usyk, they are really naïve to think the west cares about Ukrainian sovereignty. CNN of all networks. SMH.

And this Russophobe is petty among Ukrainians. They are like the Scottish toward the English - they would cut off the nose to spite the face. Pride can be a very toxic thing in extreme amounts.

That was just a noise. Go away and educate yourself.

What does Fury have to do with this? Though he was born in Manchester, Fury's spoken plenty about his gypsy heritage so he doesn't really identify as English. From what I have heard, he is much more connected to Irish roots on his grandfather's side.

Tyson would not fight for his homeland like Oleksandr, as already stated Usyk is a different class of human being. 'Gypsy-Bum' Tyson Fury will be remembered as a traveling-circus-show, he would not fight for the UK or Ireland, he would probably leave his wagon like a crab vacates its shell, and borrow another one if its convenient for him.

Ah, you're still crying yourself to sleep over the beating he gave Wilder aren't you?

As for "loyal to the soil.." He's a Gypsy. They're travelling folk who get treated abysmally by settlers. Why tf should they be loyal to any soil? You actually believe that the piece of dirt your parents phuqqed on is superior to every other bit of dirt on this rock?

Maybe you live in the UK, I dont know, but I wonder would Tyson Fury ( a British citizen ) stand beside you and fight an invader like Oleksandr Usyk, or leave you to the wolves? I bet you would not justify his desertion because hes a 'Gypsy'.

You feel threatened by a difference of opinion, the highest levels of courage is within every race and every human on earth, one only needs a cause that is motivational enough to bring it out. We are all brothers the only difference is in what we know.

I give these guys a lot of credit to go out there and fight for their country, but so far all I hear is talking and i just see pictures of them in uniforms. Hard to fight when you're talking every day

I really dgaf. I'm not invested in nationalistic fervour to any degree.
You're obsessed with Tyson Fury. You pop up in the comments section of on completely unrelated articles, spewing your hatred of him. It's pathetic.
This story is about Usyk, Fury is not mentioned.
You don't seem to be able to understand, some of us are fans of the sport and not simply indulging some sort of man-crush.
You come across as some kind of emotionally damaged, incel teenager you know?
get a ****en life ffs.

Each of them in their regional territory defense unit. Not necessarily engaged in combat every day. For example Loma is in Bilgorod Dnistrovsky unit, which Does not have any direct confrontations as of now, just occasional rockets. Dont know where other guys assigned, but Kyiv currently defended mostly by regular army while terr.defence is preparing next line of defences, patrolling city, catching insurgents forces from russia, helping people etc. though situation is escalating quite rapidly, especially in Kharkiv and Mariupol cities
