Former world champion Kostya Tszyu shared his opinion about the fight between Russian Murat Gassiev and Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk in the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) finale. The match is scheduled for May 11 in Saudi Arabia.

"It is difficult to single out the favorite of this fight, their chances for a final victory are approximately equal. These are the two best fighters of cruiserweight division at the moment, who have not lost even once in their careers. Gassiev is a puncher, Usyk works more on tactics, he has fast legs, he is very tough. It will be a super fight, to which the attention of the whole world will be riveted. I am impressed by Gassiev, he is young, promising fighter. I note that he is very professional about his battles, he studies the weaknesses of the opponent carefully and works on them," said Tszyu.
