Anthony Joshua In Ukraine With Oleksandr Usyk As Putin Continues To Drop Bombs by BlackViper(op): 3:20pm On Mar 22

ANTHONY JOSHUA is visiting war-torn Ukraine alongside Oleksandr Usyk.

The former heavyweight rivals have headed to capital Kyiv, with Usyk keen to show Joshua around.

The reigning world heavyweight champion, 39, posted a video to X of himself meeting up with AJ.

In the short clip, AJ can be seen approaching Usyk at an airport.

Beaming, the Brit says: “Ukraine! For the first time in my life.”

Wearing a Stone Island jacket and beige baseball cap, Usyk replies: “It’s good. I show you, I show you Kyiv.”

To which Joshua adds: “Let’s go! We go to see Kyiv.”

Usyk accompanied the clip with the message: “Going to Kyiv with @anthonyjoshua.

“Already planning a little tour around the city. Excited to show some of my favorite spots!”

Usyk subsequently posted a picture of himself alongside Joshua in the city, captioning it: “Welcome to Ukraine.”

The pair also enjoyed some live music together, with both clapping along as three women sang and two men played instruments.

Usyk proudly captioned this further clip: “Fully immersed in Ukrainian culture.”

The Cat is back in his homeland for a boxing event put on by his promotion.

He wrote in a further Instagram post: “I’m heading back to Ukraine, and not just like that… Tomorrow is the Rising Stars professional boxing night by @usyk17.promotions.

“Of course, I can’t miss an event like this, even with training in full swing and my preparation for the May fight ramping up.

“This is where new names rise and their big journey begins. It’s going to be loud. It’s going to be electric. And definitely unforgettable!”

The card is set to be headlined by home fighter Daniel Lapin, who takes on Kristaps Bulmeistars.

Lapin, 28, was last in action at Wembley Stadium last summer as he beat Englishman Lewis Edmondson on the undercard of Usyk’s rematch win over Daniel Dubois.

Despite Kyiv remaining a warzone, Lapin gets a homecoming fight this Saturday, with Usyk and Joshua likely to be ringside.

Usyk, meanwhile, will next be in the ring in Egypt on May 23 when he takes on kickboxing great Rico Verhoeven.

But our Chief Propaganda WriterNg said
Ukraine lost 20 million of her population grin

Ukraine wey no get army of 2 million grin

Who come be the 20 million wey die??

But in the video
You see AJ walking the street of Ukraine.
Meeting plenty people and fans

In fact it doesn't look like there is war
AJ walking peacefully without security
People wey Putin dey bomb for 3 years still get light while Naija dey in darkness.

Seun
The day WriterNg will write obituary for you
And spread fake news
That you died in plane crash
And post it on nairaland frontpage

That is the day Seun will realize the big mistake of allowing propaganda merchants like WriterNg to be posting fake news on frontpage

Trump and America don bomb 7 countries in the last 2 years alone but you'll never see any headline like this from western media.

After Iran America is planning to bomb Cuba. That makes it 8 countries.
