Champion garage: former and current cars of Alexander Usik (18 photos)
In honor of Oleksandr Usyk's next victory, TopZhir has prepared an article about the cars of the world heavyweight champion according to the WBC, WBA, WBO and IBO versions. And although we have repeatedly talked about Usyk's car fleet, when, if not today, is it worth talking again about his car preferences and past and present cars.
Olexandr Usyk's Cars
Moskvich 412
Let's start with the first car of the 37-year-old Ukrainian boxer. It was a Moskvich 412, though not even Oleksandr's, but his father's. The future champion first got behind the wheel of his father's car, and he learned to drive it in it.
Kia Sorento
The first car that Oleksandr Usyk owned when he was already famous in boxing circles was a Kia Sorento. However, the Korean SUV was not in Usyk's possession for long, because 2 weeks after buying it, his wife Kateryna crashed it.
Skoda Octavia
The next car was a Skoda Octavia, which Usyk decorated with an image of Muhammad Ali. In 2013, the Skoda was involved in a traffic accident in Simferopol, Oleksandr's hometown.
Volvo XC90
For his victory at the 2012 Olympics, the athlete received a Volvo XC90 from the Boxing Federation of Ukraine.
Toyota Land Cruiser 200
However, he did not use the crossover for long (it probably did not "fit") and changed it to a Toyota Land Cruiser 200.
Lexus LX
In 2018, Oleksandr Usyk changed the Kruzak to a premium Lexus LX.
Mercedes-Benz GLS
Then the boxer got a Mercedes-Benz GLS, which in the spring of 2021 was taken to the penalty area for improper parking. But that's something that doesn't happen to anyone.
Six-wheeled Gelendvagen
In the same year of 2021, after defeating Anthony Joshua, the legendary athlete decided to treat himself to a well-deserved gift. Usyk bought a 6-wheeled Gelendvagen. But we are not talking about the original Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6 worth over 1 million euros, but about a replica created by Ukrainian craftsmen.
It should be noted that, according to the information about the modified Gelendvagen in the database, the number KI0017TT was originally a 2007 G55 AMG. It is easy to guess that it served as the basis for a copy of the six-wheeled SUV.
BMW M760Li
For one reason or another, these same numbers were “migrated” to the BMW M760Li xDrive (G12) in an exclusive color with a 6.6-liter V12 BiTurbo engine.
Audi RS Q8
In the same year 2021, Oleksandr Usyk purchased an Audi RS Q8 with a capacity of 600 horses. But in 2023, the champion decided to radically modify and individualize it. We talked in detail about Usyk's tuned RS Q8, but in short: the Audi RS Q8 tuning was performed in the ALANTON Performance studio. The Audi interior is trimmed with leather, Alcantara and carbon with contrasting green inserts and seams, and integrated lighting was also added. Logos with the letters A and Ώ appeared in the headrests of the front seats. This is obviously a reference to a quote from the Bible: "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end." On the back, they added an image of a cat (Usyk's nickname is Kot).
Bentley Bentayga
It should be noted that the team (and there are more than 100 team members) of the old and new world heavyweight champion also has enough fans of expensive and luxurious cars. For example, the Ukrainian athlete's coach has (or at least had) a Bentley Bentayga. The numbers speak for themselves.
Or maybe a Bugatti?
I wonder what kind of gift on wheels Usyk will entertain himself with this time? Maybe it's time to buy a Bugatti? Moreover, the prize money allows it. After all, it is 114 million dollars. And they are definitely deserved!
P.S. Nothing is known about this car at all, but the license plates seem to hint…
