World heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk finds time to relax outside the ring through competitive gaming. He regularly plays Counter-Strike to unwind after demanding training camps.

The athlete built a dedicated entertainment space in his garage featuring computers, billiards, and table tennis. He gathers with friends online twice a week for five-on-five matches.

My garage is a real gaming zone. We play five-on-five online for about an hour, not every day, but twice a week on Thursday and Sunday because we have fewer things to do then, Oleksandr Usyk said.

Usyk plays matches on Thursdays and on Sundays after attending church. He feels confident in his gaming abilities when competing against his acquaintances.

I am the best in CS. But not the best of the best like in boxing, Oleksandr Usyk stated.
