by The victory of Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk over Briton Anthony Joshua became one of the most discussed topics in recent days. And not only because Usyk managed to reclaim the honorary title of world champion, but also because many Ukrainians couldn’t watch Usyk’s fight live even for money.
But if we abstract from the nuances of the broadcast, it makes sense to talk about Oleksandr Usyk’s cars. He didn’t have so few. Usyk’s first car was his father’s Moskvich-412, on which the future champion learned to drive.
Already becoming a successful athlete, Usyk acquired a Kia Sorento crossover with a 2.2-liter 197-horsepower turbo diesel. However, two weeks after the purchase, the boxer’s wife got into an accident with it.
For a long time, Usyk drove a Skoda Octavia A5, and even adorned it with an image of Muhammad Ali. But this car also got into an accident in 2013 – in Simferopol, the Skoda was rammed by another car.
For winning the 2012 Olympics, the athlete received a Volvo XC90 from the Ukrainian Boxing Federation. However, he didn’t use the crossover for long and replaced it with a Toyota Land Cruiser 200. And in 2018, he bought a Lexus LX worth over $100,000.
Later, the boxer acquired a Mercedes-Benz GLS, and this spring, the crossover was taken to the impound lot for incorrect parking.
Not so long ago, Usyk decided to buy the loaded Audi RS Q8. The crossover is called the poor man’s Lamborghini Urus, as it is equipped with the same engine but has slightly less power – 600 hp. It accelerates to a hundred in 3.8 seconds and reaches 305 km/h. The athlete has already re-equipped the crossover with 23-inch wheels.
TopGir also once talked about the Bentley Bentayga with TEAM USYK plates. However, this car does not belong to the boxer himself, but to his coach Sergey Lapin.
