Usyk will play charity football in Portugal with football stars

Oleksandr Usyk, the undisputed heavyweight world champion, will participate in a charity football match in Portugal on September 15th. The event will take place at the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon and will be attended by former Premier League stars.

The participation of Carles Puyol, Alessandro Del Piero, Henrik Larsson, Cafu, Roberto Carlos and Kaká is also expected. Usyk will take the opportunity to promote the Usyk Foundation, his charity that provides support to communities in Ukraine and the Ukrainian army.

Usyk plans to play at least the first 10 minutes of the match, but his physical condition will be closely monitored following his victory over Daniel Dubois in July.

After his victory over Dubois, the WBO granted Usyk a 90-day medical extension, giving him more time to decide his next move. Usyk presented medical evidence to the WBO detailing his inability to immediately return to training and was granted the extension earlier this week. Now, he will have to face Joseph Parker or Fabio Wardley, who will face each other in London on October 25, or relinquish the WBO title.
