Usyk, 35, has received countless videos and messages from his war-torn countrymen to spur him on for a repeat of last year’s epic win over Joshua in Tottenham.
He said: “I am not motivated by the news, nor the war.
“I am motivated by the people of Ukraine who are struggling hard to defend our independence, to defend our freedom and defend our culture that other people want to demolish and destroy, they don’t want us to exist anymore.
“I am in touch with many guys from the frontline, military guys and soldiers.
