What Usyk shouted after his victory
As people began congratulating the boxer on his rematch win, he started scanning the crowd with his eyes, looking for his wife Kateryna. He was eager to hug her and began asking where his beloved was.
Usyk's words could easily be read from his lips. Then he simply shouted her name. When Kateryna reached the ring, she ran into her husband’s arms.
The romantic moment moved the fans who were present at the fight. They began posting touching videos on social media, and Kateryna later reshared them.

In addition, after the victory, Usyk made a new post in which he also addressed his beloved.
"You are my support and my everything!" the boxer wrote under a photo where he is gently embracing his wife.
For Usyk, this has become a tradition — after his fights, he immediately embraces his beloved. Kateryna always tries to support him and travels to his matches, although she has admitted that it is very difficult for her to watch her husband fight in the ring.
"It's really exhausting for me because I have to say something, shout something to him. And he actually only hears me and that’s it. Well, maybe the coach too, sometimes. But it’s very important for him that I’m there. Maybe I’m like a talisman, I’ve thought about that," Kateryna said in one interview.
