Ukrainian unified heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk has revealed that “every night there are bombs” flying over Oleksandr Usyk‘s house in Vorzel, outside Kyiv. He made the comments after his undisputed title win over Tyson Fury, and he invited former U.S. President Donald Trump to visit Ukraine to see the warfront for himself.
Usyk said he told Trump to “live in my house for one week” in order to experience what is happening. He described regular nightly rocket and bomb attacks on the village near Kyiv where he lives, saying that people who do not “live in Ukraine… don’t understand what’s going on.”
Donald Trump Invited to Oleksandr Usyk’s House
In a BBC Sport interview, Usyk urged Trump to come to Ukraine to witness the fighting. He said he would even let Trump stay at his home for a week. “I will give him my house,” Usyk said. “Every night there are bombs and rockets flying above my house. Bombs, rocket. Every night. It’s enough.”
He added that people who haven’t lived in Ukraine can’t fully grasp what’s happening:
“You don’t understand what’s going on. I do understand.”
Addressing Trump directly, Usyk said:
“I said to Donald Trump, ‘Come to Ukraine. Live in my house for one week. I will give him my house. You will understand what is war.’”
The unified champion’s invitation comes in response to Trump’s repeated claims that he could end the Russia-Ukraine conflict swiftly if re-elected. Usyk’s challenge appeared to underline how detached outside commentary can be from the daily realities faced by those living near the front lines.
Usyk’s Message Follows Historic Victory
These remarks followed Usyk’s undisputed world title win over Tyson Fury, which took place in Saudi Arabia. The victory made him the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era and the first since Lennox Lewis to unify all major titles.
Despite the career-defining moment, Usyk was quick to turn attention back to his homeland:
“Children, women, old people, soldiers – they are dying. It’s not normal,” he said.
“People must understand what is happening in my country.”
Oleksandr Usyk’s words cut through the usual post-fight narrative. As he prepares for a rematch with Daniel Dubois, he continues to use his platform to highlight the devastating human cost of the war in Ukraine
