Ascending the throne as an undisputed champion is the epitome of greatness for regular fight fans. But heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk is wise enough to know that there’s more to life than just titles. In an exclusive to Boxing King Media, the Ukrainian revealed that he didn’t gift himself the Rolls Royce he had wanted just because there were other more important commitments.
Mentioning his family, his wife, and his four kids, the southpaw claimed that the car was just too expensive and he would had to make compromises with his kids’ education and other things and that is something he wasn’t willing to do.
“It’s a very expensive car but I think maybe I need this money, education for my children. I’ve a car, not only one but a lot. But, I want to I think but if I was alone, no problem. But I’ve four kids, my wife, I’ve big family.”
Even though he is a killer inside the ring, Usyk is a caring family man. Realizing that he is the only one responsible for his family, the champion happily let his desire slide.

Being the father of four lovely children, Usyk has other commitments like their education, well-being, and health to take care of, and a Rolls at this point would be more of a white elephant for him.
Besides, all this sounds too end of the road for the champion as there’s still a lot of boxing left in his career!
The champ will meet up with Tyson Fury towards the end of this year for their title rematch. But as of now, he is to meet the English boxer in London for the former’s friend Derek Chisora’s last professional fight.
Oleksandr Usyk to meet Fury in London – Frank Warren
Akin to UFC 304 , the boxing fiesta is also headed to England this weekend. Featuring an all-British showdown between Derek Chisora and Joe Joyce at the O2 Arena in London, British promoter Frank Warren has got the community on their toes.
In addition to the two heavyweights colliding, the event will also have Fury and Usyk in the arena with the Brit coming down to watch his pal, Chisora bid adieu to the sport.
In fact, Warren expects both the fighters to show up on Saturday. That said, with another child on the way, Fury has his hands full but there’s a good chance he might not make his towering presence felt at the event. Meanwhile, Usyk is right across the English channel in France and fans can certainly expect the Ukrainian to show up.
Hopefully they both do, and begin the preparations for the biggest fights of their careers soon.
