Usyk: Gassiev fight will not be polical

Andrew Karlov Feb. 6, 2018, 9:01 a.m.

WBO and WBC cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk does not want his fight against IBF and WBA title holder Murat Gassiev on May 11 to have a political connotation. Usyk will try to do everything to make this confrontation purely sportive.

"It is clear that they will try to rock, they will definitely do it, and from this you can not go anywhere, but I will change it. It will not be about politics, it will be pure boxing! I do not need politics, because there is too much dirt in it, which does not suit me. I'm happy with sport - boxing," said Usyk.
