Krassyuk: Usyk prepares meet Gassiyev on July 21

Alexander Usyk continues training for the fight with Murat Gassiev, which will be held on July 21. This was announced by the promoter of the WBO and WBC cruiserweight champion Alexander Krassyuk, commenting on the information that allegedly Gassiyev will meet with American Andrew Tabiti instead of fighting Usyk.

"Honestly, I, too, like everyone else read this news on the Internet. And it really surprised me, and I want to say, not just me. We talked to coach Gassiev, they are preparing for a fight with Usyk. I cannot say where this information came from, because today we have not contacted the organizers, that is, WBSS.

“These two weeks we really have been hoping that the exact date and place will be determined. Usyk is training and preparing for the 21st of July.

“Where exactly does the training camp take place? Well it's a secret. I can say that Usyk conducts training at full speed and is, as they say, in full charge. In the near future he will begin sparring. It turns out that the time has no pressure on us. If we are told a different date or place, it will not be of much importance to us," Krassyuk said.
