Usyk proposed Trump to demonstrate his influence over Putin in an unexpected way.

Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk, the world heavyweight boxing champion under WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBO, suggested that U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump demonstrate his influence over Russian President Voloadymyr Putin by helping to release Ukrainians held in Russian captivity.

He wrote about this on X (formerly Twitter).

Addressing stand-up comedian Joe Rogan, Usyk asked him to relay this request to Donald Trump, who appears on Rogan's podcast.

“If Mr. President is so confident in his influence over Putin, could he help free Azovstal defenders and all Ukrainians from Russian captivity right away? Time is of the essence. Sincerely, Oleksandr,” he emphasized.
