Former cruiserweight champion Denis Lebedev said that he was against the possibility of a fight with the undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk in Russia. Usyk claims to be the best athlete of the year in the world.

“Now it’s necessary to take into account your age qualities. And it’s wrong to plow as if I’m 30 or 20 years old. I wouldn’t like to discuss the match with Usyk right now. Because someone will think that this is PR. Let's wait a little - before the moment when our teams manage to organize this fight.

“The only thing I would not like to fight in Russia so that there is no unnecessary talk. I would be glad if the battle took place on neutral territory, in any place," said Lebedev.
