Olexandr Usyk had possibly the strangest New Year celebration of any professional sportsman.

The 32-year-old boxer performed as part of a comedy sketch which aired on Ukrainian TV to mark the turn of the year.

Usyk was laying in bed with someone's wife and apparently caught red handed.

The man's wife was laying in bed, talking and laughing when he walked onto the stage.

She got out of bed and tried to calm him down, but he marched straight round to the other side of the bed and pulled off the duvet.

Usyk sat up looking a tad red-faced, and the man clearly recognised the pro boxer and wanted no part of him, pulling the duvet back over the 32-year-old.

Heavyweight Usyk is a household name in his native Ukraine after his exploits in the cruiserweight division.

Usyk became the first man to hold all four major world titles at the same time in the cruiserweight ranks - unifying the WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO straps.

He stepped up to heavyweight and knocked out Chazz Witherspoon in Chicago in December to make a successful debut in the division.

Usyk is in line to face Anthony Joshua in 2020 after the Brit won back his world titles from Andy Ruiz Jr.

If his heavyweight career doesn't work out, Usyk could always try his hand at acting judging by this performance.
