Interim WBC Light Heavyweight Champion Alexander Gvozdyk is confident that his friend Alexander Usyk with the right attitude can defeat any opponent. On July 21 in Moscow Usyk will face Murat Gassiev in the WBSS finale.

"The main thing is that Alexander boxed with a cool head and did not try to impress the audience. Alexander can box like that, as they say in the boxing world, he can take Gassiev to school. The main thing is not to fight, as with Briedis, then it will be a problem.

“If Alexander will have a cool head, then he can beat anyone. I perfectly remember our meeting with Azerbaijan, when Usyk boxed with Medzhidov, world heavyweight champion. I honestly worried about him, but Usyk dismantled the opponent very skillfully. Alexander can do all this very well. The main thing is that if he wants to do it," said Gvozdyk.
