Ukrainian light heavyweight Vyacheslav Shabranskyy (19-2, 17 KOs) on his Facebook page shared his emotions after losing to Sergei Kovalev (31-2-1, 27 KOs) at a boxing event in New York. Kovalev knocked out Shabranskyy in the second round and won the vacant WBO light heavyweight title. Shabranskyy said that although he remained dissatisfied with his performance, but he was not mentally broken. Also Vyacheslav promised that he would return:
“Everyone thank you for support and believing in me. I took this chance because I wanted to take it. I took opportunity, because I don’t back down from one. I’m unbroken but very disappointed in my performance. Last night I learned big lesson and now it’s time for me to rethink and adjust many things. I appreciate everybody’s comments. I will be back!”
