Zelensky met Trump at the door to the White House and shook the President's hand before the seismic meeting.

And, once inside, his entourage was seen carrying the WBC undisputed belt Usyk earned against Tyson Fury last year.

Boxing fans were baffled to see the belt propped up on a table as the two leaders talked in front of the gathered press.

One fan gasped on X: "I hope that's a replica."

Another said: "Just why?"

While a third added: "I can’t think of anyone who deserves it less."

And a fourth commented after : "I hope he took it back after this meeting?"

Following the tense talks, Trump kicked Zelensky out of the White House and branded him "disrespectful".

Negotiations fell apart after a between Zelensky, Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

Ukrainian hero Usyk has a proud unbeaten record of 23-0, with 14 of those wins coming by knockout.

He joined soldiers on the front line at the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine three years ago.

Usyk, 38, has been a unified world champion in two weight classes - first as a cruiserweight, before stepping up to heavyweight in 2020.

Usyk has beaten Joshua, Daniel Dubois, Derek Chisora and Tyson Fury twice to cement himself as the pound-for-pound king.

The world champion beat Fury for a second time in December last year to retain his belts in Riyadh.

Usyk already has one eye on leaving boxing behind.

Asked about retirement, he told Sky Sports: "I think two years, one-and-a-half [left in boxing].

"I feel great myself. I feel I have two fights to prepare, not more. Just two."

Usyk had indicated he would fight the winner of Dubois vs Joseph Parker, which was cancelled earlier this month after Triple D pulled out through illness.

Should Dubois win that fight, he believes he has what it takes to knock Usyk off his perch.

IBF holder Dubois said: "Run it back. My next fight I'm working towards [is Usyk], I'm ready for it now.
