Promoter of Ukrainian boxer Oleksandra Krasiuk told in detail about the arrest of the Ukrainian.
Oleksandr together with his friend (also Oleksandr) flew on RyanAir flight FR2777 from Krakow to Thessaloniki, having driven more than 11 hours from Kyiv to Krakow by car and getting a little tired.
Usyk had a priority queue for boarding, and his friend had a general queue. While waiting, Oleksandr’s friend fell asleep on the seats in the waiting area.
After the announcement of the start of boarding, Usyk woke up his friend and said that he would wait for him at the exit. After passing the passport and boarding pass check, Usyk was left to wait for his friend. It all started with this.
Employees of the airline somehow strangely established the condition of Usyk’s friend as “deep alcohol intoxication” and did not allow him to board the flight.
Usyk began to find out the reasons for the denial with RyanAir employees, but they refused to give an explanation, calling the police. After the officers appeared, the airline employees pointed to Oleksandr’s friend and explained their conclusions about not being allowed to board the flight. The police asked him to go with them to establish the fact and complete the documents.
At the local police station, a friend of Oleksandr’s was offered to undergo an appropriate check, which did not confirm Ryanair’s version. After that, there was an “unpleasant conversation” between the police and airline employees, but it was already too late…
In the meantime, the Consul General of Ukraine was already there and had to give an explanation to the Polish law enforcement officers. It is difficult to say whether the lunar eclipse darkened the consciousness of the employees of the airline and the police, or the desire to get to know the outstanding champion.
However, we can definitely say that the anniversary of Usyk’s victory over Glowacki in Gdansk, Poland in 2016 was celebrated in a unique way by the Poles.
So, thank God, the incident is over. We will wait for an official apology and compensation from the RyanAir airline and from the Polish law enforcement officers,” said Krasiuk.
