The WBC 56th Convention in Kiev, Ukraine

I believe that's Eva Wahlstrom. She's 5'6".

 

Wow Usyk looks like a middleweight next to Wlad and Lennox.

 

Good stuff minemax and Big Ukranian.

 

Usyk too small for HW!

 

Thanks!

I'm very happy to meet so many boxing legends in my city.

Marvin Hagler is very nice and polite person, he doesn't seek an attention at all.

Lennox is nice guy too, very popular here in Ukraine, at the end he was tired a bit of that attention. They're good buddies with Vitali, by the way

Evander Holyfield is the most popular boxing legend here, the only more recognizable person from boxing world would be Mike Tyson (still haven't met a person (man or woman) in Ukraine who doesn't know Mike Tyson). By the second day of his visit, Evander already looked very tired of so many people trying to make photo, selfie or shake his hand.

Vitali and Wlad, of course.

Roberto Duran, Barrera, Morales in the 1st day.

Vinnie Paz.

Oleksandr Usyk, Victor Postol, Amir Khan, Shawn Porter.

Porter is very nice guy by the way, talked to him about his next plans, he wants rematch with Thurman but nothing is made to make it happen yet. I've also asked him about the Usyk fight in the amateurs, he said that Usyk was very tall and skinny guy then, and that he won that fight by 1 point.

The hardest part for boxing legends was probably an autograph session where were Lewis, Holyfield and Vitali, standing for few hours giving their autographs for thousands of boxing fans. Being famous is hard sometimes.

So it was advertised that the boxing legends will visit the boxing evening in Sports Palace, but there were only Shawn Porter (ha-ha, he knows me very well already) and Gerry Cooney. Others were too exhausted.

Oh, and there were also Eddie Hearn and the legendary Ellie Seckbach. Ellie was annoying as always.
Some guys recognised Ellie and made selfie with him. Ellie would be proud of that LOL.

Nice event, great memories.
