World heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk pleaded with US President Donald Trump in an interview with CNN Sports, asking the president to help Ukraine as it continues its fight against a full-scale Russian invasion. “(President) Donald Trump, please open (your) eyes, help my people,” Usyk – arguably the biggest Ukrainian sports star – told CNN. The WBC, WBA and WBO heavyweight champion went on to say he believes Trump needs to live up to his campaign promise of ending the war, after he promised to put an end to the conflict within 24 hours during the US presidential campaign. “He should be responsible for the words he said,” Usyk said. “He said that in a month or a day, he would stop this war. He is not responsible for his words. Why does he speak?” Usyk also invited the American president to visit Kyiv, offering to host him in his house so he could better understand what regular Ukrainians are going through every day and night, with barrage after barrage of drone and missile strikes. “I offer him my home. Let him come to Ukraine. I will give him my home and my security guards. I will ensure his complete safety,” Usyk told CNN Sports. “Let him live in my house for a week and see how rockets fly over it and how people live in Ukraine.
