Ukrainian Boxer Oleksandr Usyk Released After Detention in Poland

Usyk's brief detention at Krakow Airport resolved as 'misunderstanding,' with Ukrainian diplomats intervening.

Heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk was detained at Krakow Airport in Poland but has since been released.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed outrage and instructed Ukrainian diplomats to secure Usyk's release.
Usyk and his trainer were detained due to a misunderstanding related to their fitness for travel, exacerbated by a language barrier.
Usyk thanked Ukrainian diplomats and Polish police for their efficient handling of the situation and clarified that there was no criminal activity involved.
The incident comes as Usyk prepares for a rematch with Tyson Fury on December 21 and plans to attend an upcoming fight in London.
