Usyk father, Sasha, was a military man who worked as a security guard in Crimea.

Usyk Sr passed away in 2012, just days after seeing his son win Olympic gold for Ukraine.

During an emotional interview with TNT Sports, Usyk opened up on his father's death.

"He watched me become Olympic champion, but I didn't make it back in time to show him the gold medal," Usyk recalled.

"When I arrived he was already lying in the coffin.

"I handed him the medal, put it in his dead hand and then left the room.

"Sometimes he comes to me the day before the fight."

Usyk then paused as he teared up.

"Don't cry, you're a man," he said before wiping up away the tears and revealing: "Sometimes he comes the day before the fight and smiles."
