Usik laughed off Beterbiev's words

"I boxed with Beterbiev in the 81 kg category in a tournament in Kaliningrad in 2007-2008. It was an important tournament, to which we all came light. I boxed well with him, but lost. Then we met at the World Championships, and I won there. Then he and I met again at the Olympics. I would like to note that he is a very strong boxer with a heavy punch and good pace. It was not easy to box with him, and you should be able to do it. You should not be afraid of his pressing. It's funny to me that Beterbiev thinks that he won all fights with me. Maybe he thinks differently or just can't accept defeat. I don't know, maybe he has some personal reasons. I don't know. I have a don't speak to him."
