Ukraine’s heavyweight world champion boxer Oleksandr Usyk raised 85,000 UAH ($2,200 USD) for Ukraine’s Armed Forces by auctioning off his famed ‘Colors of Freedom’ t-shirt, said Yehor Holub, coach of Ukraine’s WBO lightweight champion Denys Berinchyk, who hosted the auction on his Instagram page.

"This is his iconic ‘Colors of Freedom’ t-shirt, which was only in limited release and not sold commercially,” Holub wrote.

“It was signed by Sanya (Oleksandr Usyk) and personally presented to goalkeeper Denys Boyko in the locker room after FC Polissya’s (Zhytomyr) historic first victory over Dynamo Kyiv (3 - 2, Oct. 16, 2023)."
