On September 25, Oleksandr and Kateryna Usyk celebrated their sixteenth wedding anniversary. For some, it might just be a date on the calendar, but for them it is proof that a teenage crush can grow into a union able to withstand distance, loss, and even the trials of war. Behind the back of the undisputed world champion stands not only his team but also the woman who was with him back when he gave her a simple rose bought with his last coins.
