Lol, usyk is Ukrainian born in annexed by Russia territory.
There is actual war between Ukraine and Russia so this will be really ****** idea dor Usyk to agree fighting anywhere near that country.

[Yerlan T.]

Gassiev even wears his flag with the Russian one.. and yes usyk is a Russian Ukrainian...

Mate, You are a little bit incorrect here - Murat Gassiev is Ossetian (one of Caucasian ethnic nationalities). And he is Christian, not ******.

fight should be in Crimea and winner is undisputed and by extension ends the dispute for what flag is flown there

From Wiki:

"Roughly one month after the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation Usyk declared (on 28 April 2014) he would never exchange his Ukrainian citizenship for a Russian one and that he considered Crimea a part of Ukraine.[58]

In 2016, answering to a question if he can still enter Crimea and his patriotic position, he stated that he can enter Crimea after each of his fight; that he doesn't like to talk politics due to the fact that people like to take words out of context, that in Russia he has many fans and that he doesn't divide "our peoples because we are Slavs"."
