    He'll be alright.

    I doubt him, Loma, and The Klitschkos are really on the front lines.

    They're probably helping with logistics and stuff like that more than actually getting shot at daily.

      I do believe this is likely because it fits the MO you find in every military on the planet, even the US's military. I'll give an example: John Basilone, a gunnery sergeant in the army during WW2, while deployed to Guadalcanal, made a name for himself and became a hero. The military decided to remove him from the war and send him to the states to do promotional tours in order to raise moral back home and help recruit by glamorizing the military. Although he wasn't a fighter like Loma or Usyk, he did theatrical shows and things like that, despite not being an actor. Of course, he was split in his feelings because he felt he should be back in the war, helping out, but he spent a long time back in the US, raising moral and doing promotional tours. (In the end, he eventually went back to the war and was shot to death but he spent a long time back in the US.)

      These things are very common during war, where the military believes that people with a lot of notoriety serve the country better by bring positive attention to the war.
