This morning, #Kyiv was hit again. At least 9 people killed, dozens injured. Last month, I went back to #Ukraine with a group of Brits — to show what life looks like during war, far from the headlines. Here’s the report @TimScottTV & I created for @itvnews @GranadaReports:

From Wembley—to your headphones I spent the week in #London reporting on the #UsykDubois2 fight for @Telegraph’s #Ukraine podcast, capturing the voices of fans, fighters&journalists. 🎙️🥊 🎧 My 10-min report starts at 38:19: youtu.be/7q_GTHMpMRw&t=… ft @GarethADaviesDT @usykaa

.@Telegraph’s #Ukraine podcast is now LIVE — and it features my report from last weekend’s historic #UsykDubois2 fight! Expect atmosphere, interviews, and insight — incl. voices from Ukrainian fans, boxing pros, and the arena itself. 🇺🇦🥊 @Queensberry @usykaa @GarethADaviesDT

Oleksandr @usykaa gives the British press a lesson on what a typical Ukrainian village guy is like 😄 A press conference moment you might have missed 👇 #UsykDubois #UsykVsDubois #Boxing #Ukraine #UsykDubois2

UNDISPUTED x3 🏆 Oleksandr Usyk @usykaa becomes the first man in the four-belt era to unify titles in both cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions. A legend — for #Ukraine and for boxing 🇺🇦🥊 #Usyk #UsykDubois2 #BoxingHistory

#London is yellow-and-blue today

Fight night ready. The colours are just a coincidence… or not 😁 #usykdubois2 #usykdubois #usykvsdubois

Channeling that undisputed energy 🥊✨ Sat where @usykaa sat just minutes earlier at the press conference ahead of #UsykDubois2 at Wembley. An honour to witness history in the making — and tell Ukraine’s story behind it 🇺🇦 #Usyk #Ukraine #FightWeek #Wembley

#London-bound today for #UsykDubois2 fight week 🇺🇦🇬🇧 I’ll be around all the media and public events — feel free to say hi or chat #Ukraine if you’re covering it!

#London friends — I’ll be in town covering the Usyk–Dubois fight next week and looking for a place to stay for a night or two (ideally Sat 19th). In return, I can offer a spare ticket in the Ukrainian fan section 🇺🇦🥊 Let me know if that might work!

I’m having to limit who can send me DMs on Twitter as this is what my inbox folders’ve been looking like lately—I’m quite sick of it by now. For anyone who needs to contact me and whom I don’t follow, please email me at the email address in my bio or leave a comment. Thanks 🙏🏻
