Sauerland: The rumors that Usyk may refuse to go out is a complete nonsense

One of the WBSS promoters Kalle Sauerland commented on the forthcoming cruiserweight final of the World Boxing Super Series between Alexander Usyk and Murat Gassiev.

"There are two great boxers, terrific athletes who put everything on the line in the literal sense of the word. This is exactly what we wanted to do for the Super Series to create a story. "Olympic" is an excellent place to identify the first winner of the Mohammed Ali Trophy among two very gifted athletes, who had a rare opportunity to write a history. People have been talking about this fight for many years.

“These rumors, concerning that Usyk may refuse to go out is a complete nonsense, there are absolutely no unresolved issues. By the way, Usyk himself told me personally about his desire to win the world's first Mohammed Ali Trophy. A month ago he said that he did not care where the finals were. And he is absolutely sure that he will raise this trophy above his head on the coming Saturday.

“I already met the boxers today, both look very confident in their abilities. The Usyk-Gassiev final will be a remarkable advancement of our sport, the Mohammed Ali Trophy. Can there be a more powerful incentive to enter the ring and fight for the rest of your life? Our privilege is that on Saturday we will see the loudest battle of this year here in Moscow. And let the best of the two champions win!" said Sauerland.
