Unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has offered US president Donald Trump the chance to live in his house for a week to experience the reality of the war in Ukraine.
After Russian president Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Trump vowed to end the conflict “within 24 hours” of his presidency if he was elected for a second time.
However, the 78-year-old has been unable to do so and has blamed Ukraine leader Volodymyr Zelensky for “starting the war”.
Usyk, who dedicated his victory against Anthony Joshua in 2022 to the people of Ukraine, says Trump can live in his house for a week to better understand the situation in his country.
“I advise American President Donald Trump to come to Ukraine and live in my house for one week,” Usyk told BBC Sport.
“Only one week. I will give him my house.
Live please in Ukraine and watch what is going on every night.
“Every night there are bombs and flights above my house. Bombs, rocket. Every night. It’s enough.”
