West Ham United star Andriy Yarmolenko has been pictured behind enemy lines at Tottenham Hotspur celebrating Oleksandr Usyk’s win over Anthony Joshua.
The world heavyweight title tussle was held at Tottenham’s ground on Saturday night.
But just like Spurs, Joshua struggled and was beaten by the brilliant Ukrainian on points.
West Ham fans have been quick to share pictures of Usyk holding up a West Ham shirt and video of him saying ‘Come on you Irons’ from the last time he fought in London.
He had met up with West Ham’s Ukrainian forward Yarmolenko back then.
Rice was pictured ringside along with best friend and Chelsea star Mason Mount.
And now Yarmolenko has been photographed celebrating with his fellow countryman following Usyk’s convincing victory.
Alongside Usyk, Vladimir Klitschko and Andriy Shevchenko, West Ham’s Yarmolenko is one of Ukraine’s best known and loved sports stars.
While the skilful attacker struggles to get in the West Ham side, he has racked up 102 appearances for his country, scoring a brilliant 42 goals. The Hammer is also Ukraine captain.
Indeed Yarmolenko is just seven goals off replacing his current manager Shevchenko as his country’s all-time leading goalscorer.
His friend Usyk is now the heavyweight champion of the world following the battering of Joshua.
West Ham fans will be loving the photo of their player with the champion.
Yarmolenko is expected to leave West Ham when his contract expires next summer.
Indeed come January the £115,000 per week star is free to discuss terms with foreign clubs over a free transfer move away.
