Joe Rogan Finally Reacts to Ukrainian Boxing Stars Usyk & Lomachenko’s Stance Amidst Russia-Ukraine Conflict

The ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia has garnered attention from all around the world. Various sporting personalities have also shared their views about the same.

Ukrainian world heavyweight champion boxer, Oleksandr Usyk, multiple divisional champions Vasiliy Lomachenko, and legendary heavyweights in Vitali & Wladimir Klitschko have all joined the forces during this time.

Recently, Joe Rogan and former UFC champion Michael Bisping shared their views about the same.

Joe Rogan talks about how the conflict will affect the boxing world

In episode number #119 of the JRE MMA Show, Rogan and Bisping talked about Oleksandr Usyk and the other boxers who have joined the forces.

Usyk has only recently won the world title by beating the former champion, Anthony Joshua, with a dominant performance. In front of 67,000 roaring English fans in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Usyk claimed the world title via unanimous decision.

Rogan understands that the rivalry between them isn’t over just yet but the current state of the world might put it in limbo.

Rogan said, “I know Usyk is supposed to fight Joshua, but who knows, what’s gonna happen now, cause Usyk is literally fighting the Russians in Ukraine. I mean him and Lomachenko, yeah, Wladimir and all of them. It’s amazing, it’s crazy……”

 The duo agreed that the whole situation because of the conflict is quite scary and it could play out in a number of manners.

The current state of the heavyweight division is quite strange, as yet another British boxer, Tyson Fury, is also hoping to take on Usyk upon his return. ‘The Gypsy King’ is currently preparing for the second title defense of his WBC championship that he won last year by beating Deontay Wilder. In his next outing, Fury is all set to face American heavyweight boxer, and former WBC Interim champion, Dillian Whyte.

Fury hasn’t let go of his dream to become the undisputed heavyweight world champion. ‘The Gypsy King’ is the current WBC champion. Thus, he needs to win the WBA, WBO, and IBF heavyweight titles to make his dream come to fruition. The only way forward is through Usyk, but he first has to face Whyte in the next title defense.
