Oleksandr Usyk, the reigning unified WBO, WBA and IBF heavyweight champion, has signed a contract with Ukrainian football club FC Polissia.
Usyk did make an appearance for Polissia as a substitute in a friendly match last year and has now solidified his relationship with the club with a one-year deal.
The team announced: "The president of the club Hennadiy Butkevich and Oleksandr Usyk concluded an official agreement on football cooperation for one year.
"Usyk will perform under number 17."
The club stated that further details as to what the "football co-operation" agreement would entail will be revealed later.
Usyk does have a defence of his titles coming up next month. He will box British challenger Daniel Dubois on August 26 in Poland.
That will be Usyk's first fight in a year since defeating Anthony Joshua in their rematch in Saudi Arabia.
