But the formerly shaved Ukrainian has changed the view this time after having cut hair in a strange way, which comes after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, writes Periscope.
What is symbolized by Oleksandr Usyk's haircut? This haircut is called “Osedeletes”.
“Osedeletes” is the traditional haircut of the Kozaks' hair, a warrior people from southern and eastern Ukraine.
In Russia, it is often referred to as khakhokholʹ and is used as a derogatory term for Ukrainians.
Despite being beaned when he defeated Anthony Joshua in 2021, Usyck fought hairstyle in many cases.
This includes the day he won the gold medal in the heavy weight at the 2012 London Olympics, one day before Joshua became Olympic champion in super heavy weight.
Afterwards, he said: “You should know that cutting the hair of the cozak orledes and hopakus in the ring are not just part of the image for me, they are an honour to our history and culture”, he added.
We remember that Usik and Joshua will meet on August 20th in Saudi Arabia for their second meeting./Periscopi/
