“Aleksandr Usyk was arrested at Krakow airport. The circumstances are being clarified,” wrote Beleniuk.
Beleniuk released footage showing Usyk communicating with people in uniform and being taken away in handcuffs.
The boxer’s wife, Kateryna Usyk, told social media that “everything is fine, nothing criminal.” She also added that “later Oleksandr Usyk will explain everything.”
Other circumstances of the boxer’s arrest are currently unknown.
Beleniuk later clarified that “everything seems to be OK, Sanya should be released soon.”
Subsequently, the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Georgy Tykhy, reacted to Usyk’s detention and assured that “on the instructions of Minister Andrii Sybiga, the Consul General of Ukraine in Krakow urgently left for the airport to find out the circumstances of the situation.”
“The Ukrainian side categorically does not accept the attitude shown in the video towards its citizen and champion. In addition, Minister Andrii Sybiga will already contact his Polish colleague with the aim of immediately resolving this situation. The minister also instructed the consul general to express his protest and indignation at such an attitude,” Tykhyi emphasized in his comments to Radio Svoboda.
