Oleksandr Usyk publicly thanked Jesus after beating Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium to become boxing’s undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

The Ukrainian boxer has spoken about his faith before.

He said after the fight that he wanted “to say thank you to Jesus Christ,” and he spoke about how he lives out his faith in his daily life and about how his relationship with God had helped him to see life differently.
