Following a historic victory in his rematch against Tyson Fury, world boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk held aloft the original saber of Ivan Mazepa. This served as a reminder to the world of the remarkable Hetman who fought against Russia for the independence and unity of Ukraine, over 300 years ago. The 17th-century saber arrived in Riyadh from Ukraine, where it is normally preserved in the Chernihiv Historical Museum. It was transported with adherence to all regulations and under the supervision of museum experts. For the first time in boxing history, a museum artifact has been allowed in the ring.
For centuries, Russia has tarnished the name of Hetman (Field Marshal) Mazepa. Thanks to Oleksandr Usyk, that name is returning to the global media sphere and will receive the recognition it deserves.
The project was organized by the Oleksandr Usyk Charitable Foundation and Ukraine WOW, non-profit organization promoting Ukrainian culture.
