“The better the opponents, the better I perform in the ring,” says the Cuban heavyweight Frank Sanchez (24-0, 17 KO), who performed in Saudi Arabia at the end of last year and defeated the strong Junior Fa by technical knockout in the seventh round.

Sanchez does not hide that he would like to return to the Middle East, where two more major boxing evenings with the participation of big stars will soon take place. Fury will fight Usyk on February 17, and Joshua will fight Ngannou on March 8.

“I’m high in the rankings and I’m ready for the biggest names that every fan knows. Parker, Wilder, Hrgovic, Zhilei or Dubois - I can easily beat any of them. Because the better the opponent in front of me, the better version of me the fans will see. I’m hoping to be back in Saudi Arabia in March against one of these guys,” Sanchez added.

The undefeated Cuban is indeed highly ranked in the world rankings: WBC No. 4, WBA No. 5, IBF No. 7 and WBO No. 4, respectively.
