Remember that the crowd in the stands cheers for a long fight, but it’s better for you if it’s shorter. Remember that it will end sooner or later, and you have to hold on for one more minute.

This isn’t about boxing. It’s about all of us.
Ukrainians, I’m sending you a hug 💙💛
Because we love, we can do it.
Last night, Russia unleashed everything it had on civilians. Intercontinental missiles were also fired at Kyiv. The Russians always warn the U.S. that they plan to strike Ukraine with these missiles. That’s why we knew about this attack in advance.
I’m in Prague at Globsec, far from home, but I barely slept. The missile struck near my house. This morning I messaged my colleagues, family, and neighbors to check if everyone was okay.
Maybe Vance will say something? He hasn’t been able to do anything to improve the lives of Americans, so he proudly considers his greatest achievement in office to be the cessation of all aid to Ukraine. I'm convinced, Putin is very grateful to him for that.
By the way, his first words after being declared the champion were about these shellings. Usyk said that his family and daughters are also currently in a bomb shelter under attack from Russian missiles.
I have a question for the author of the meme “When I become president, I’ll end this war in 24 hours.” Will there be any reaction at all to the massive strikes on schools, hospitals, the Kyiv Opera House, museums, architectural landmarks, residential buildings, markets, and supermarkets?
Today my friend wrote: Stay on your feet as long as you can. If you get hit, recover quickly. Move fast - faster than your opponent. Know that weight isn’t everything. Protect your vulnerabilities, strike at his vulnerabilities, and know where they are.
And what about the Ukrainians?
They’re taking in people who lost their homes overnight, putting out fires, comforting their pets, mourning the dead, going for coffee at shattered cafes to support small businesses, and discussing Usyk’s victory.
