Do Oleksandr Usyk and his wife Yekaterina have children together?
The long-term lovebirds have three children together - Kyrylo, Mykhalio and Yelizaveta.
Usyk and his young family had to flee their home in Vorzel, Bucha when the area was overrun by Vladimir Putin's troops.
Sadly, it meant many of Usyk's possessions were burned to the ground and he had to focus on getting his family to safety before heading to the front line.
Usyk said: “My children are asking: 'Daddy, why do they want to kill us?' I don’t know how to answer that.
“My family are not in Ukraine now but a lot of people I know and a lot of my close friends are inside the country.
“I am in touch with them every day, I am asking them for updates.
“I didn’t want to leave the country. I want to live there, still. Straight after the fight I will go back to Ukraine.”
