Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk made a surprise appearance at the highly anticipated rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia.
Despite currently serving a provisional suspension for a positive drug test, Mudryk was spotted ringside, showing his support for his fellow Ukrainian, Usyk.
Mudryk’s presence at the event sparked mixed reactions, given his ongoing doping controversy.
However, the Ukrainian star seemed unfazed, enjoying the thrilling fight that saw Usyk emerge victorious.
The 22-year-old winger has been embroiled in a doping scandal after testing positive for meldonium, a banned substance.
Mudryk has denied any intentional wrongdoing, stating that he has “never knowingly used any banned substances or broken any rules”.
Mudryk’s attendance at the Usyk-Fury fight has raised eyebrows, but it’s clear that he’s not letting the controversy keep him from enjoying high-profile events.
