WBC and WBO cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (14-0, 11 KOs) on his page in Instagram said that he had already begun to "work with the doctor" over treating an elbow injury and that he was going to return to the ring as soon as possible for the World Boxing Super Series final with the IBF and WBA champion Murat Gassiev.
"I am working with the doctor, recovering, and getting shape. Thanks for the support, my dear fans, but you need to wait a bit. The fight will be for sure. Because we, me and Gassiev, both need it," said Usyk.
