This article should be moved to Aleksandr Usyk as that is how he spells his name. This can be seen on his verified Instagram account.The Ring belt that was recently awarded to him also has his name spelled that way[1] as does the WBSS that he won[2] and HBO where he fought on.[3] Some more links: [4][5][6][7][8] Many other reliable sources do spell it Oleksandr but that could be because they were heavily influenced by Wikipedia. Aleksandr should be used as sources differ and that is how he spells it per his social media accounts. Naue7 (talk) 00:26, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm getting many more Google hits for Oleksandr than Alexandr, using a string of "Oleksandr Usyk" -wiki -wikipedia -forum -forums to narrow things down. However, the above sources are definitely worth consideration to perhaps go against WP:COMMONNAME in this case. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 16:50, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Either is okay to me. I think this is common with European's. I do prefer Oleksandr, as like Mac stated, get's more hits. --Mahussain06 (talk) 09:20, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think the preferred spelling is quite firmly 'Aleksandr', Usyk spells his name that way on his social media accounts [9] and on his personal website where he sells t-shirts with his name on [10].Tyrroi (talk) 16:39, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As stated before me, there's a huge gap between "Oleksandr Usyk" and "Aleksandr Usyk" both in Google hits[11][12] and Google Trends[13]. All major media outlets, like BBC[14], NYTimes[15], The Times[16], use only one form of Usyk's name - "Oleksandr", which is not surprising considering that it's his real name in passport. As for social-media profiles and merchandise, I don't think they're worth consideration per common sense: profile names are unregulated and are known not to be taken seriously, while merchandise is pure form of art - not information. Good example of that is Usyk's own official Instagram account which as of today has "Usyk. Cat. Aleksandr" as its name. --keepthesmoke (talk) 19:35, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The IPA and respelling pronunciations do not correspond. Are these meant to be the Ukrainian or anglicized pronunciation? The latter is /ˈuːsɪk/, which corresponds to OO-sik. — Paul G (talk)
On April 27, 2023, Oleksandr Usyk visited the front, namely the Bakhmut district. There he met with the soldiers of the 24th separate mechanized brigade of King Danylo, where he expressed his support for them.[17]Олекса Доба (talk) 09:17, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
He defeated Daniel Dubois in the ninth round[edit]

Which one, and what is correct? If the current date is well-sourced, do you have other reliable sources that support the other date? I've closed the request for now, please reopen it when you've provided the information needed to make the change. Tollens (talk) 20:44, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Pinchme123 (talk) 01:22, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
