Oleksandr Usyk has been preparing hard for his bout against Daniel Dubois. He’ll be defending his heavyweight titles for the second time after his last fight against Anthony Joshua. The Ukrainian boxer has been getting a lot of support from people belonging to his hometown as the fight is scheduled to take place in Poland, where a lot of Ukrainians are sojourning at the moment. So much so, that the well-known Youtuber-turned-boxer, Jake Paul, has also blatantly shown his support for ‘The Cat’.
Currently, Paul is in Poland to be ringside at Usyk vs. Dubois fight. He even shot a video with the world champion, where he uttered his infamous cheeky phrase, “I’m very feel“. Anyway, in the video, Paul stated, “I’m finally in my homeland, a lot of you don’t know I’m Polish!” He then continued. “We’re here, I’m very feel.” Although, many fans were furious about the caption made on the Instagram Post.
