The promoter of WBO cruiserweight champion Alexander Usyk (13-0, 11 KO's) Alexander Krassyuk says that the fight of his boxer with WBC champion Mairis Briedis (23-0, 18 KOs) in the semifinal of the World Boxing Super Series can take place in Ukraine.
"Saudi Arabia? No, it's about the final, not the semifinals of the tournament. As for the semifinal, Europe and US are being considered. But neither the date nor the venue is settled.
We are doing everything possible to bring this fight to Ukraine, but we understand that the negotiations are very difficult. And there is a high probability that the fight will take place in the United States. However, there is no confirmation of this. So far, these are just talks. The bout is planned for January-February next year," added Krassyuk.
