Oleksandr Usyk was filmed launching a missile during his latest visit to meet Ukrainian soldiers.
Last February, Russia began their invasion of Ukraine and Usyk enlisted with the Kyiv Territorial Defence in a bid to protect his country.
Due to his rematch with Anthony Joshua, Usyk left Ukraine and went on to retain his heavyweight titles via a split decision.

Now, he has returned to Ukraine to meet soldiers and he was filmed launching a missile into the air. You can watch the footage below.
Usyk has built up a reputation for being a quirky character and he was at it again during the missile launch.
The 36-year-old did a comical yell which left people around him giggling.

Over the last few months, there have been talks that Usyk will fight Tyson Fury in order to crown an undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
However, talks have since collapsed after both camps shared a war of words.
Last month, Usyk posted a video online claiming he will accept Fury’s offer.
He said: “Hey, Greedy Belly. I accept your off of a 70-30 split to fight on April 29 at Wembley. But you will promise to donate £1 million to the people of Ukraine immediately after the fight.

“And for every day you delay, you will pay one per cent of your purse to the Ukrainian people. Deal?”
However, less than two weeks after that video, Usyk’s manager, Egis Kilmas confirmed the fight with Fury was off.
Kilmas said: “No matter how much Usyk compromised, he was pushed for more.
“If this fight is going to happen, only April 29th. Or it's just going to be cancelled, and we'll go with the mandatory.”

Usyk may now fight another British fighter, in the shape of Daniel Dubois, who is the mandatory challenger for his WBA belt.
It has been reported that the fight could take place in Poland this summer but no date has been confirmed yet.
