Abel Sanchez, the coach of the Russian Murat Gassiev, made it clear that in the future he expects to see the second fight of his ward with the Ukrainian Alexander Usyk. In the finale of the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) Usyk beat Gassiev with a devastating decision and became the undisputed cruiserweight champion.

"Unfortunately, the fight did not go as we expected. Alexander outplayed Murat. Let's not think about further plans, we need to analyze this fight, to disassemble the mistakes we made. Defeat is also part of a career. Murat understands this and he is ready to work hard to become stronger. He is young, and he will have many important fights ahead of him. I can say one thing: we really want the rematch," said Sanchez.
