Oleksandr Usyk: He's one from the great school of boxing, his motto is to hit his opponent and not to be hit. I watch Usyk fights, so I know his weaknesses and advantages. I'm waiting for this fight.

Kubrat Pulev: He has a great amateur background, he is from a boxing family, his brother also fights. He will soon be my mandatory challenger.

Deontay Wilder: He is very talented, he was promoted wisely which allowed him to gain the necessary experience. As soon as he comes out on the champions level, there will be no way back. He needs more fights than me, but he was already at this level, he can not look back. His plan for success was realized completly - I congratulate him and his team.

Tyson Fury: He's a follower of Muhammad Ali. He speaks well and fights well. He is a talented boxer.
