EDITOR’S NOTE (Nick Stamatakis). For one more time, Oleksandr Usyk, the Ukrainian Orthodox heavyweight boxer, proved victorious this time in Saudi Arabia!… And he celebrated his victory wearing the “Orthodoxy or Death” T-shirt, the now famous “resistance symbol” of the Esfigmenou Monastery of Mount Athos in its decades-long struggle against heretic Pat. Bartholomew. With this type of publicity and the degenerate globalist ideology defeated worldwide, the Esfigmenou monastery has a good chance to be left in its monastic peace in Athos…

Oleksandr Usyk responds to Tyson Fury saying he was given ‘Christmas gift’ in decision win
Oleksandr Usyk doesn’t seem to be bothered one bit by Tyson Fury’s rhetoric following their massive heavyweight boxing championship rematch.
Fury, who’s now 0-2 against Usyk after losing a unanimous decision in their rematch on Saturday night, is convinced that he won the rematch and that Usyk was given a “Christmas gift” by the judges in the 116-112 decision that read across all scorecards. The comments were accompanied by Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, saying Fury was “robbed.”
“Uncle Frank, I think blind,” Usyk said at the post-fight press conference in response. “If Tyson says it’s Christmas gift, OK: Thank you, God, not Tyson. Thank you, God. Thank you my coach Yuri. Thank you, my team. Listen, Frank crazy, I think. That’s my opinion. OK, no problem. I win.”
With the victory, Usyk retained his undefeated record and his WBC, WBA and WBO heavyweight titles. The two first fought at the beginning of the year, when the Ukrainian star took home the victory with a split decision win over Fury.
Usyk felt this second time around, the job was much easier.
“The fight was not easy, but it was easier than the first one,” Usyk said.
Overall, despite what’s been said between with camps, Usyk is grateful for the two-fight series with Fury.
“Tyson Fury made me strong,” Usyk said. “Tyson Fury continue, not like motivation for me, but Tyson is a great opponent. He’s a big man. He’s a tough boxer. He’s a good man. Tyson a lot of talk. It just shows I very respect Tyson Fury: 24 rounds (we fought). Now it’s already history.”
