Former undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk on October 12 in Chicago will face undefeated Tyrone Spong in his professional debut in the heavyweight division. Before the fight Usyk promises to silence the skeptics with his performance.
"They told me, I should not go there, that I'm not a natural heavyweight, the I'm small, it will not work with me. Throughout my life I have heard from many people that I did not succeed. But I will not listen to anyone who says to me, do not do it. I, on the contrary, will do. And I must succeed, because I believe in it," Usyk said.
