The story behind every car Oleksandr Usyk has owned

Oleksandr Usyk, Ukraine’s undisputed heavyweight king, is fresh off a $114 million triumph over Tyson Fury and a second knockout victory against Daniel Dubois. According to the Baltimore Chronicle, the total payout for his last fights may reach as high as $132.8 million; money he uses to curate a luxury car collection as powerful, precise, and flamboyant as his punches.

Each cars in his garage are a steel-framed memory of how far Usyk has come from the streets of Simferopol to the roaring crowds of Wembley. Behind every engine note lies a moment of pain, discipline, and reward. In his words, “I fight with joy and when I win, I give joy to myself too.”

With a record of 23 wins, no losses, and 14 knockouts, Usyk’s career is a story of perseverance and his garage is the museum.

From soviet-era grit to olympic gold

Before the lights, belts, and Bentleys, Usyk was a boy behind the wheel of his father’s Moskvich 412, a basic Soviet-era sedan that taught him how to drive and survive. It wasn’t his, but it gave him control over something, even if just a steering wheel.

His first car of his own was a Kia Sorento, modest by celebrity standards but meaningful. Fame had started knocking, but normal life hadn’t let go yet. That car lasted two weeks, totaled by his wife, Katerina, in an early taste of the unpredictability that would follow them both in life and boxing.

Next came the Skoda Octavia, which he customized with an image of Muhammad Ali on its body, a nod to his growing ambition. But even that phase ended in a crash, in his hometown of Simferopol. The road to greatness, quite literally, was bumpy.

Olympic triumph, gifts, and grit

When Usyk won gold at the 2012 London Olympics, he received a Volvo XC90 from the Ukrainian Boxing Federation, a gesture of pride and recognition. But he didn’t cling to it, the Volvo gave way to a Toyota Land Cruiser 200, a tougher vehicle that seemed to match the athlete’s rising intensity. It, too, was soon swapped for a Lexus LX in 2018, a clear sign that comfort and luxury were beginning to meet grit in Usyk’s life.

The evolution of his taste wasn’t just about bigger engines, it was about bigger meanings. Each car became a symbol of a chapter closed and a new journey opened.

The alpha, the omega, and six wheels of glory

In 2021, after defeating Anthony Joshua, Usyk gave himself a unique giftc, a replica Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6, handcrafted by Ukrainian engineers. It wasn’t a million-euro original but it didn’t have to be. Built on the chassis of a 2007 G55 AMG and bearing the number plate KI0017TT, it symbolized resilience and local pride.

That same year, he acquired a BMW M760Li xDrive with a rare paint finish and a thunderous 6.6L V12 BiTurbo engine. The license plate from his 6×6 was reused, an intimate touch, suggesting continuity through change.

Then came the showpiece: a heavily customized Audi RS Q8 with 600 horsepower. Modified by ALANTON Performance, the SUV now boasts leather, Alcantara, carbon trim, and green-stitched details. Etched into the headrests is a biblical quote: “I am the Alpha and the Omega.” A cat design on the back of the seats nods to his nickname Kotka. For Usyk, meaning always matters more than mere metal.

Bentleys, Bugattis, and boxing bravado

In July 2025, as Usyk prepared to face Daniel Dubois again, he joked with promoter Frank Warren: “Where is my car?” referencing a playful promise made before the bout. “If you win, a Bentley,” Warren replied. “If you lose, a horse and cart.” Usyk’s responded, saying “Bentley. I will win,”  which he did again.

The speculation feels justified. After all, if any boxer has earned the right to trade up, it’s the man who drives history with every punch.
