WBC cruiserweight champion Mairis Briedies (24-0, 18 KOs) commented about his World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) semi-final fight against WBO holder Ukrainian Alexander Usyk (13-0, 11 KOs) being held in Riga.
“I had a feeling that semi-final with Usyk would be heading back to Riga. Two belts on the line, it will be a special night," wrote Briedies.
