The date and venue of the semi-final fight of the World Boxing Super Series between WBO cruiserweight champion Alexander Usyk (13-0-0, 11 KOs) and WBC belt holder Mairis Briedis (24-0-0, 18 KOs) will be announced next week. This was reported by the WBSS organizers.
Previously among the contenders for the organization of the fight were called Riga, Latvia, and Chicago. There were talks about Kiev also, but Ukrainian promoter Alexander Krassyuk said that the economic conditions in the country could prevent this.
Most likely, the battle will be held in the capital of Latvia.
