Hollywood star and Ukraine supporter Liev Schreiber walks Oleksandr Usyk out to the ring for his mammoth heavyweight clash against Tyson Fury
Hollywood star Liev Schreiber was among Oleksandr Usyk’s entourage on Saturday as he walked to the ring for his heavyweight fight against Tyson Fury.
Schreiber, the star of Ray Donovan, Spotlight and the voice of Hard Knocks, is an advocate for Usyk’s home country of Ukraine in their ongoing conflict with Russia.
Schreiber has visited his family home since the outbreak of war and even met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
And he was ready to walk Usyk to the ring in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night and stood in his corner before the fight started.
Earlier on Saturday, Schreiber said on Instagram: ‘Tonight is an incredible opportunity to remind the world not only of the war in Ukraine, but also of its incredible heroes.
‘It is also an opportunity to invite the international community to a peace summit in June. Stick to Ukraine.”
