Gadzhiev: "I consider Usyk our fighter"

Dmitriy Kel Sept. 23, 2021, 6:11 p.m.

Head of Fight Nights Gobal Kamil Gadzhiev shared his expectations for the upcoming fight between WBO, WBA and IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and mandatory WBO title challenger Oleksandr Usyk.

"As early as September 25, our Alexander Usyk vs Anthony Joshua will have a super heavyweight bout. I say "our" deliberately. I believe Usyk is our fighter, a fighter from the former Soviet Union, representing our boxing school and I will support him with both hands.

Yes, Joshua is the favorite today. Usyk has shown nothing great in this weight yet, but Joshua has probably never seen such a skilled, accurate, agile boxer as Usyk. That's why I rank Joshua as a champion, but I'll support Sasha with all my heart. Go ahead Sasha," Gadzhiev said.
