The Razor Fighting: An ex-boxing champion turned war hero

An ex-world champion boxer known as "The Razor" has traded his boxing gloves for a rifle to join the fight against Putin's troops in Ukraine. Serhiy Dzinziruk, a former light middleweight king, bravely signed up with Kyiv's Territorial Defence unit and is now on the frontlines battling against Russian forces.

From Boxing Ring to Trenches

Former world champion Serhiy Dzinziruk, who had an impressive unbeaten record for over a decade, now fights in Ukraine after Putin invaded. Despite his boxing prowess, Dzinziruk admits that he was always more scared in the ring than on the frontlines, where he now faces a different kind of opponent.

Boxing Legends on the Frontline

Joining Dzinziruk in the fight are other boxing legends like Oleksandr Usyk, Wladimir Klitschko, Vitali Klitschko, and Vasiliy Lomachenko. These former world champions have put down their gloves to pick up weapons and defend their homeland against Russian aggression.

Boxers Turned War Heroes

These fearless boxers have shown incredible bravery and determination in the face of war, with Wladimir Klitschko refusing a boxing comeback to fight on the frontlines and Vitali Klitschko, who has been the mayor of Kyiv since 2014, taking up arms to defend his city.

Despite their past glory in the boxing ring, these fighters have proven that their true strength lies in their unwavering dedication to their country and their willingness to sacrifice everything for its freedom.
