Oleksandr Usyk on Being Knocked Out by a Horse

Unified world heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk recently recounted an unusual incident from his childhood when he was knocked out by a horse.

Speaking in an interview with Piers Morgan, Usyk shared the surprising story:

“When I was young, a horse hit me in the head, boom! It had 0 fights, 0 wins, and one knockout. I was working in the village back then.”

It is worth noting that Usyk is scheduled to face Daniel Dubois for the undisputed heavyweight championship in London, Great Britain, on July 19th.
