WBC and WBA cruiserweight champion Alexander Usyk denied information that the final fight of the World Boxing Super Series against Murat Gassiev is on the verge of failure: "Many media reports that our fight with Gassiev will not take place. It's a lie. I prepare. The whole problem, probably, is that with the organizers of the tournament. Someone cannot agree on the venue. Naturally, they start looking for the guilty person of me and the company. They say, we refuse to go somewhere. But I am ready to go anywhere. My task is to train and enter the ring, to show a quality box”.
“I absolutely do not care where to fight. I need a fight with Murat, because he also has two belts and the Muhammad Ali Cup is at stake. We need this fight, me and Murat. My suitcase is collected, I'm ready to go anywhere in the world and box there. Even in Antarctica. We are waiting only for an official letter, in which the date and place of the battle will be indicated. The information should appear soon.
“I recovered from the injury, underwent a rehabilitation course and work at full speed. Is it possible to fight in Russia? Well, probably, it is possible", told Usyk in a live broadcast in Instagram.
