Don't Push the Horses

This design immortalizes the famous phrase that has become a symbol of Ukrainian spirit.
The horses are an artistic modernization of folk patterns, in which the power of tradition is felt.
Ornaments and inscription form a harmonious dialogue between antiquity and the present.

   During the final press conference before the rematch with Daniel Dubois, Oleksandr Usyk unexpectedly addressed the opponent's team in English: "Don't push the horses", which literally means "hold your horses" - "don't hurry".

   The origins of this phrase are comical, it was not invented by Usyk, but comes from Ukrainian comedian Vasyl Kharizma. It was he who in 2024 in the show "Interesting English" used it as a humorous translation of "hold your horses". The show fragment with this phrase went viral, and the phrase itself became a meme.

   The phrase used by Usyk gave new momentum to memes. 

   Representatives of Dubois' team were surprised to hear this phrase. Promoter Frank Warren even jokingly asked for a translator, and trainer Don Charles admitted he didn't understand the phrase. *
