In the 42-second video, the undefeated Ukrainian went into further detail about his reasons behind switching his focus to a rematch with Joshua, revealing the support friends and family have given him in resuming his boxing career.

“Everything will be with God’s blessing. Everything will be Ukraine. Wishing everyone well.”
