Oleksandr Usyk ranks among the most prime heavyweights of modern era boxing. Formerly a cruiserweight, Usyk stepped up in the heavyweight division a couple of years back. Since then, he’s put on colossal performances to lure the fans and eventually expand his stardom.
That said, Usyk has now gone a notch higher outside the boxing world, as he’s inked a deal with Blockchayn Labs, a hub of athletic NFTs.
Also, his brand new NFT collection will be available for the fans shortly. The Ukrainian boxer shared this news on his official Twitter handle. He wrote, “I am very excited to announce my 1st Official NFT Collection which will be dropping soon! To find out more about NFTs and my collection – follow @blockchaynlabs.io to stay up to date”
