WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight title holder Alexander Usik spoke about his motivation to unite all the belts in the division in his hands, as well as what role the legendary player plays in this Evander Holyfield, to which two categories at one time submitted.
“The opportunity to become the undisputed champion in the second weight division is still motivating. I communicate with Evander Holyfield directly, I can correspond with him, I can call him. Once upon a time this was a dream, but now it is really happening. This is wonderful.
There are a lot of people around who want this and who help me. Not only will I become the absolute champion, but those people who help me will also become the absolute heavyweight champions,” Usyk said in an interview with Boxing News.
Let us remember that Usyk was supposed to hold a unification fight with Tyson Fury on February 17, but the Briton withdrew due to a cut he received during sparring. The boxers are now scheduled to meet on May 18th.
