“Today, Lisbon will host a large-scale charity Match of Legends, which will bring together world football stars and aims to raise over EUR 1 million to support charitable organizations, including the Ukrainian Red Cross. The undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk will join the match,” the URC announced on Facebook on Monday.
