Kateryna Usyk, wife of undefeated Ukrainian boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk, shared a rare family photo with her father Mykhailo on Father's Day celebrated on June 15. The heartwarming post quickly attracted attention on social media, as Kateryna rarely shares such personal glimpses into her family life.
In a previous conversation with journalist Slava Dyomin, Kateryna revealed that her father, Mykhailo Khmelevsky, hails from Simferopol and previously worked as a taxi driver. This personal detail adds a humble background story to the family of one of boxing's most dominant champions.
Beyond the Father's Day celebration, Kateryna also posted several new images from her daily life, featuring moments with her younger daughter Maria and scenes from a christening ceremony.
Interestingly, this isn't the first time Kateryna has given fans a glimpse into her family connections. In mid-March, she shared uncommon photos with her mother against the backdrop of picturesque Spanish landscapes. That occasion marked the first time that Oleksandr Usyk's mother-in-law appeared so prominently in close-up shots.
While Oleksandr continues to make headlines in the boxing ring, these rare family moments offer a different perspective on the champion's personal life. Will we see more family photos from the Usyk household in the future? For boxing fans, these glimpses beyond the ropes provide a welcome dimension to understanding the man behind the gloves.
