Russia’s “authorities” in Crimea have announced the confiscation of property belonging to Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk on the territory of the peninsula, according to Vladimir Konstantinov, head of the so-called “Crimean parliament.”

Usyk was included on a list of 84 individuals and legal entities whose assets were seized by the Russian “authorities.” They are accused of cooperating with the Ukrainian government and supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“Oleksandr Usyk is a supporter of Nazi ideology. He has repeatedly condemned the Special Military Operation and organized fundraising campaigns for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” Konstantinov said, explaining the decision to confiscate the property.

The world boxing champion under the WBA, WBC, and IBF versions in the heavyweight division is a native of Simferopol. It has not been specified what exact property the athlete still owned in occupied Crimea.

Earlier, the UOJ reported that Usyk had financed the restoration of the Shukhevych Museum.
