OLEKSANDR USAYK is back in London, but not yet to face Anthony Joshua.
The 35-year-old Ukrainian boxer enjoyed the luxury seats at Stamford Bridge as he watched Chelsea's Champions League match with Lille.

He shared a photo of his matchday ticket from the Blues' 16th-round tie in West London on social media.
A video of the heavyweight world champion taking in the action was also shown.
He would have cheered with the 41,000 at home for the world champions, as they achieved their goals by Kai Havertz und Christian Pulisic.
However, Usyk won't be playing for Chelsea any time soon after he played for Ukrainian pro football team FC Polissya in a match against mid-table Prem side NK Veres Rivne.
The 35-year old came off the bench, but he fluffed his lines just ten seconds later when he failed to deliver the knockout punch.
He may however be seen in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season.

Spurs continue to negotiate for their rematch and are believed to be interested in hosting the second fight, which could take place in May/June.
Talks about a Tyson Fury unification showdown failed. Now, the former cruiserweight king has returned to the UK to meet with talks and locate a venue for Usyk Vs Joshua II.
Both the USA and Middle East were suggested.
As things stand, however, it seems that a fight in the UK is the best option.
