Krassyuk: The Russian side plays fool

Alexander Krassyuk, the promoter of the cruiserweight champion Alexander Usyk, commented on the situation that arose with the organization of the fight of his fighter against Murat Gassiev on July 21 at the Olimpiyskiy Sports Complex in Moscow.

"Everything is not settled yet. Nevertheless, we are flying for Moscow. The Russian side says that it does not understand the claims. They are playing fool. They understand everything. Most household issues we deal ourselves. Therefore, we have no problems with this. There is a problem with the fact that the host side, not the World Boxing Super Series, does not fulfill its obligations. We could not trust the security issue someone, so we dealt with it, actually, ourselves. But we hope that common sense will win," said Alexander Krassyuk.

Krassyuk also added that the final decision on the battle will be made "until Saturday."
